Even though he spends much of the film
with is face and eyes completely covered, Jackie Earle Haley as
Rorschach delivers one of the most powerful performances of the year.
So much of what he does is accomplished without the actors most
powerful tools: facial expressions. But Haley fills Rorschach with
hundreds of little ticks in body language and voice in inflection
that he paints one of the most vivid characters in the entire piece.
We root for Rorschach even though his is, technically speaking, a
sociopath. He is someone who has seen the worst hell imaginable in
his life, and those abuses have not strengthened his character, they
have damaged him irrevocably. But he is pushing forward has best he
can. When Haley does get a chance to uses his face, it is done with
devastating effect. His last scene in the movie gives me chills
because he unleashes all of his skills to bring his character to one
final devastating point.
