I was just about to say this. They usually get worldwide success with authentic local language films and shows that don't try so many other languages like English but still think including American actors and English language scenes is necessary for global success.
I have the same problem even with Europeans such as German and Norwegian filmmakers who don't realize how awkward it is when they force in English scenes. The delivery is usually not right and doesn't feel as smooth as when they use the language they're comfortable with.

That happens a lot even in Hollywood films and non English language shows. They can't create tension with a SWAT team or a pack of police officers so they always choose to have one character flying solo and being too brave.
It's plausible for some of these small towns that it could happen but it's a trope that will never change in horrors and thrillers

And a number of other films, not just with Stiller.

Snipes would've killed it in these types of films, assuming he was willing to do them.

Someone else mentioned he did it a a lot but didn't mention other films.
He could've had a great career like Bill Murray.

Have loved Jack and Matthau in a few other things but still haven't seen any of the 10 films they did together.

The Chaser, Yellow Sea, The Wailing.

Which means some of those giving him work do even worse things in their private lives and parties. Or they tolerate and keep many scandals under wraps.

Since I could never get that first experience I had with The Chaser I'd rather rewatch The Wailing.

Because following real life stories exactly without dramatization and timeline changes won't sell a film.
Even documentaries do a lot of manipulation.

Nightcrawler and Whiplash were shot very quickly in a few weeks and have some exception performances and pacing.

Very interesting. Yesterday I heard a director say The Tourist was being developed for Tom Cruise as well but he did Knight and Day.

It's definitely the one that comes to my mind often when thinking of Korean thrillers and their chase scenes.
A recent Korean thriller, Midnight, evoked a lot of the feelings and fun I had watching that film.

He sure is. I kept looking for something new for him for the past few years and was considering watching that horror he produced recently.

Then don't watch his trailers or films. There are so many other films available for you to watch nowadays.

Yeah, such a great character actor but that always felt weird but it was in line with the condescending nature of many people who think it's so groundbreaking and moving to see a racist guy start to warm up to PoCs. 'What a great achievement! He showed that PoC some kindness, he's a hero!'

I actually loved her quirky over the top character so much. I love her acting much more in her old age than when she was starting out.

As a kid I didn't care for that, I was enamored by his walk and martial arts.
But his acting and cinematography of Once Upon a Time in China is terrific.

RDJ did several after that, he could've been great at even more if he didn't have those other commitments.
