Chris Evans as Mike Weiss on a cropped poster for Puncture
It’s no secret that the name Chris Evans is synonymous with a certain star-spangled hero with a shield in hand. But long before he became the Marvel golden boy, Evans stepped into a much grittier role in the legal thriller, Puncture. The name alone is ample proof that it isn’t the clean-cut superhero — this is Evans raw and unpolished, delivering a performance that feels more human than heroic.
Chris Evans Delivers a Masterclass in Making a Flawed Character Unforgettable in ‘Puncture’ For anyone who’s seen Puncture, it’s clear that Evans didn’t just play Mike Weiss, he lived him — flaws and all. He’s a far cry from the polished, suave roles people have come to equate the actor with. Instead, Evans completely takes it “there” with Weiss’ contradictions. It’s easy to believe that he’s this brilliant but self-destructive lawyer who fights for justice just as much as he sabotages himself.
Posts The true beauty of Evans’ portrayal here is the way he threads the needle between Weiss’ brilliance and his messiness. In a scene where he passionately defends Vicky’s right to safer medical tools with a compelling speech, it’s hard to reconcile him with the same man spiraling into chaos and alienating those closest to him just moments later. Evans makes sure you experience the dual nature of the man whether it’s his genius or his tragedy.
