 Tim Roth Biography
Roth was angry, boiling with resentment, his hatred fuelled not simply by the injustice of the rejection he felt and the beatings he saw and took but also by the sexual abuse he'd suffered when younger.
Roth had grown terribly disillusioned with a British film industry that was now concentrating on saleable period dramas rather than the harsher, more modern work of the early 1980s.
Roth would be excellent once again - sadistic, smirking, enraged and fidgeting, only able to communicate with his rifle - and, now working extensively with a voice coach, he'd managed to avoid being buried under the memory of Martin Sheen's portrayal of Starkweather in Terrence Malick's iconic Badlands.

Those in the audience who indicated they had some experience with sexual abuse, either as survivors or as people who worked with survivors, complimented him on the accuracy of the portrayal of this family: ordinary, everyday people burying a horrible secret that's bound to explode.

Once inside the storm, our hero is sucked into a wormhole that turns his helm dead and spits him out to crash land on a faraway world in the distant future where -- as if you didn't know -- a brutal, medieval society of evolved simians enslaves primitive humans as labor and pets.
The superbly detailed masks worn by actors Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Clarke Duncan, Paul Giamatti and dozens of others are capable of such an astounding range of motion that even subtle degrees of emotions like anger, anxiety and deceitfulness can be detected in their faces.
Meanwhile a barbarous, coup-minded general (a fantastically ravenous Tim Roth, blessed with the most expressive monkey face) learns the dark secret of his society from his dying father: Thousands of years ago, apes arose to take over this planet from humans, who had been their cruel masters.
