Something I noticed about Sam Claflin's filmography is that he tends to do weaker films between bigger projects. Or maybe 'weaker' is not the right word, maybe I should say 'smaller'. This is not to do with my usual heresy and it's not to do with him playing a lead or a side role either. I mean like, for example, DJATS, Hunger Games, Peaky Blinders, TCOMC, Enola Holmes, Me Before You are the bigger projects, while Love Wedding Repeat is a smaller one. It's also why I don't judge them that hard. I don't really expect a lot from the likes of Love Wedding Repeat, so am less harsh on it, while I extend more criticism towards the bigger projects (as everyone has seen me do by now, lol).
Bagman, Book of Love, Every Breath You Take, The Corrupted, The Quiet Ones, Mary and Martha, United and The Lost Future are what I would consider to be the smaller/weaker projects. I expect All The Devils Are Here would be this too, if it ever got a release. Not sure where Love Rosie fits in. I'd say his voice roles in animated films count here too--Snow White and the Red Shoes and Charlotte. Watch the Skies remains to be seen (hopefully).
All those that I've named above are films. With all his limited/mini series, I think they're all big projects. Pillars of the Earth, Any Human Heart, White Heat, DJATS, TCOMC. The upcoming Lazarus will be too, Vanished could go either way. Peaky Blinders is, of course, a force of its own.
What do you think? Do you see it as well?
