Perspective: Ray Liotta delivered one of cinema’s greatest breakout performances
— but most observers agree that he didn’t have the career he deserved. It was gratifying to see him more often in recent years, sometimes making fun of his own frightening persona, other times playing into it with grace and traces of self-aware humor. His portrayal of a ruthless divorce lawyer in Noah Baumbach’s
was a fine return to form, and a tantalizing promise of what Liotta might be heading toward in the last few chapters of his career.No matter what Liotta did — a guest shot on a sitcom, a cameo in a pulpy action thriller, a supporting role in a well-heeled indie — he never lost the ability to startle, by his presence alone. That initial frisson of threat and volatility would give way to delight , but it was always a jolt nonetheless.
