5. People also ask

   Is William Hurt a good actor?

   • William Hurt is an interesting actor. Although he has made many money making Hollywood films, he seems to enjoy also making small artistic films that MUST bring him a lot less money but perhaps more personal satisfaction. Among these many "little" films he has done is Second Best--an odd little film well worth watching. Is it a perfect film?

   Is John Hurt a good movie?

   • John Hurt is very funny in a brief supporting bit, but Alan Cumming is unintentionally villainous and theatrical as an adoption caseworker. Menges fiddles around with camera tricks and other artistic flourishes that wouldn't have been necessary had he been given a script with clearer intentions.
