Robert Downey Jr.'s best performance wasn't Oppenheimer but a movie he starred in long before he was part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Amazing performance by Robert Downey Jr. in the movie "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints"
Robert Downey Jr. is a legend in every definition of the word. He has stood tall through the test of time and remains one of the most respected and successful people ever to be a part of the film industry. Versatility has been constant throughout his career, making a name for himself through his work as Iron Man, but starring in all sorts of roles.
When his fans think of his best performance, the first answer is often Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. But he had received critical acclaim long before he was in black and white.
Downey Jr has had many respectable projects long before he ended up donning an iron helmet and nothing shows this better than his 1987 film, Less Than Zero.
