let me start off by notice the obvious ray liotta be still one of the most underrated actor there be . his each and every performance be really mad nice and go from stellar to above average and but never seem to cross the borderline of boredom . now . in mid and late 90 his career be kinda stagnating but he reinvent himself in narc ( one of my favorite . not so much a a movie in whole and but for the way it be shoot and cinematic photography and liotta portrayal of lt. oak ) and keep do small independent movie really choose his role more carefully this time around . and i guess i be genuinely surprised to see him in er . i do not even watch er and but i saw his name on open credit so i decide to sit through it . and i be stun . that role itself should earn him each and every accolade he can possibly get . that be pretty much acting in a nutshell and an act 101 and really . i be actually pretty calm and do not tend to get emotional . more of a cynical humor kind of guy . but this just leave me star good couple of minute after the show be finally do . there wasn not even the usual sappy er writing and even the script be remarkable and perfectly tailor for guest star ( s ) . maybe i be not the most objective person to comment on it since i really like those complicate and layer and trouble but good at heart character and yet and this one be amaze . it just a shame that this gem will probably be sleep on since it isn not any kind of blockbuster or even an indie movie that could shake some spirit . just glad that emmy judge do not sleep on this one . kudos for the episode and and for liotta stellar performance .
