Tom McCarthy must have one of the most bizarre and inconsistent filmographies out there. Directed a best picture winner (Spotlight) and won for co-writing it. Throw in this, an Adam Sandler misfire, a few indies that got Oscar attention. But I know him best for his stellar acting work as the guy Amanda Peet ditches John Cusack for in Roland Emmerich’s masterpiece ‘2012’.
Oh, and he co-wrote ‘Up’. A movie I don’t like. I’m guessing he wrote the 95% that everyone ignores because the early montage ‘has all the feels’ etc.
