The Good Boss (2021) - 93%

In "The Good Boss," Bardem portrays Julio Blanco as a comedic yet despicable factory owner more focused on infidelity and trivial achievements than anything meaningful.

Bardem excels in this unsympathetic role, shedding light on societal issues amidst humor.

Unlike typical greedy characters, Julio masks his malevolence with a facade of friendliness.

Bardem's performance earned him the prestigious Goya Award for Best Actor, a significant honor in Spanish cinema, according to Screen Rant.

Skyfall (2012) - 92%

"Skyfall" stands out as one of the best recent James Bond films, focusing on Bond grappling with the repercussions of a failed mission endangering fellow agents.

Bardem's portrayal of Silva, a menacing villain, is lauded for its intensity and charisma.

He embodies the quintessential Bond antagonist, striking fear and leaving a lasting impression.

Bardem's performance ensures his character's place in Bond film history, leaving anticipation for future adversaries in the franchise uncertain.

Collateral (2004) - 86%

In Michael Mann's "Collateral," taxi driver Max's (Jamie Foxx) night spirals into chaos when he encounters hired killer Vincent (Tom Cruise).

Despite limited screen time, Bardem amplifies tension, contributing to the film's gripping atmosphere alongside Cruise's unexpected villain role, making "Collateral" a memorable cinematic experience, Collider noted.

The Sea Inside (2004) - 84%

"The Sea Inside" is a sad and powerful movie based on a true story.

It's about Ramon Sampedro, a man who couldn't move his body from the neck down and spent 28 years fighting to end his own life with help from someone else.

The movie shows how hard it was for him mentally and how he got close to his lawyer, Julia, who supported him, and Rosa, a local woman who wanted him to keep living.

Bardem plays Ramon in the movie, and it's one of his toughest roles ever.

Ramon's story is already so hard, and Bardem does an amazing job showing all the emotions and struggles of a man who wants to die.

In this Javier Barden movie, his acting is touching and well done.

Even though the movie doesn't get talked about much, it's one of Bardem's best performances.
