Speaking of actors, how many people went to theaters because of John Cusack?

I won't talk about the special effects of the plot. I personally think that some parts of the plot are a bit thin, but the shock of the visual effects and the fear in the heart, plus the little jokes that pop up from time to time, all the small flaws can be ignored. .
It seems that most people have noticed that Huang Jinghan, who plays the Tibetan boy Tianqin, is the villain Mr. Liu who was captured by Batman from Hong Kong in "The Dark Knight". In addition, I found out that the Russian guy's girlfriend, Tamara, is the Russian ballerina who was brought in and out by Bruce Wayne's classmates in "The Dark Knight". (Actually I'm also wondering how I came up with that...) Getting to the
point.
I wonder who got into the theater because of John Cusack? As much as I say these kinds of movies appeal to me, without Cusack I'd probably be waiting for the DVD to rock at home.
This time John Cusack plays a writer with family problems and a failed career.
In his films I've seen, I was impressed by his performances. He played the father three times, and once was the lost lover in "Martian Child". After adopting a son from "Mars", he gradually learned The father who went back to life, will never forget his words "You're my son. You're my home, forever. And I will never, ever, ever...ever, ever...ever, ever, ever... leave you."; once in "Grace Is Gone", the father who concealed the truth and took his two daughters to the park after learning that his wife died on the battlefield; once in "1408", the father who could not accept his daughter's suffering Terminally ill death fact blows dad.
In such a disaster film, the acting skills of the actors are actually the most easily overlooked. In fact, Cusack is no exception. We don't see too many small details that realize the delicate changes in the heart, because these will slow down the overall rhythm, so it is inevitable that the actor will become the background, unless you look like the Sasha next to the Russian guy Just as bright.
This time, the father played by Cusack is a little humorous and a little rude. He would oversleep, lie on the phone, drive his boss's car to camp in Yellowstone Park, and run for his life without forgetting to knock down his rival's Porsche (the last time I watched Cusack was in "Con Air") , when he was a dull and handsome little detective). With the development of the plot, in addition to seeing this little man forced by life to stand up for his family, we can also see the touch brought by his small changes. When he patted his daughter's head and said: "Find her a hat.", when he said to his son: "You will help me next time.", when he said to his wife: "I will take the children to find what we once Where it's been, it's gone." ...while he was on the plane, sitting in the car turning on the radio, and in that light, I seemed to see John Cusack from Runaway Jury or even Identity.
Today's Cusack is no longer as handsome as "Say Anything", and it will no longer ramble like in "High Fidelity". He has grown fat and has more folds, but he stood there with the same unchanging eyes and iconic nose line, which was still so attractive.
