GERARD BUTLER IS one of the few stars who can still get action movies into theaters based on his name and star power alone—and because of that, many may not realize just how great an actor he really is. Sure, it’s a joy to watch him blow people away as Mike Banning in the Has Fallen series or bend the law to his liking as Detective “Big” Nick Hathaway in Den of Thieves, but, as he’s aged, Butler has grown into playing the everyman quite well. When Greenland was released in 2020, at the height of COVID, we got to see him embody the role of a family man thrown into chaos as an apocalyptic comet hurtled to Earth.
