Movie with John C. Reilly in a serious role, I vaguely remember.
SOLVED: Hard Eight
It is a movie of a single man, I'm almost sure it is John C. Reily. It is around Vegas or somewhere in America where he is going to eat in a restaurant. And it is just a nice movie that just ripples through and has a nice atmosphere. If I remember correct there is just some issue where he is working on or looking for or something. Who does know which movie it could be?

This one?
Yes it is ! Thank you! It was weird I couldn't find it in his movie list.
Np! I love that movie, he is fantastic in it. Check out Magnolia (1999) for another good serious role of his.
Thank you I will put that one on my list as well!
came to mention Magnolia. He's great in it. Everyone is.
I haven't a clue, but can't wait for someone to answer.
On another serious role note, he's in the movie The Perfect Storm and plays a fisherman. Not the lead role, but a solid contributor throughout the film.
John C Reilly is such a great actor in general, especially serious roles. I’ve always felt like people don’t give him the credit he deserves.
Agreed. I think Walk Hard might be my favorite role of his. It's got a bit of everything and showcases a lot of his talent.
And honestly there’s no one I could’ve guessed to have aged as gracefully as him lol
His portrayal of Dr. Steve Brule is genius
He was very good in Gangs of New York and The Aviator.
I would not describe Hard Eight as 'just a nice movie' - it's got excellent performances but I found it a bit rough.
I was a teen when I saw it, so I couldn't remember so good. Only that I liked the role of John C Reily. I will rewatch it soon and have respect for the movie.
Dolores Claiborne
Honestly I can’t picture him in a serious role.
He's great in magnolia
You just need to watch the many serious roles he has done throughout his career then you won't need to picture it.
watch more of his films then he has a handful of great serious performances
Gangs of New York is another serious role he did. Gets killed by Leonardo DiCaprio.
