I really appreciated that Pierce was an actual human character and not another cackling madman. Not that there isn't a place for those, but it is refreshing when we get something different.

Redford was really perfect choice for this role. Based on the feedback from the cast and crew, he is a very generous actor and person. I am relieved to see that while his performance is being appreciated, his presence did not overshadow the movie or other actors. I would hate to hear CAP 2 just being all about Redford. Glad it did not happen.

Excerpt of an interview with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the writers who I think should get more credit for writing such a tight, smart, witty script and knowing and serving the characters, especially Cap so well.

Redford was excellent in the role. He provided a nuanced, interesting look into the character of Alexander Pierce and he made Pierce both engaging and intimidating.
I also liked how they designed Alexander Pierce's character by combining elements of various corrupt or traitorous government officials from the comics, and also elements of Alexander Lukin from the original Winter Soldier storyline. |

[QUOTE=Suzanne78;28480477]YES! The "Oh, Renata!" was total perfection here. The perfect combination of "I liked you as my maid!" and "But now I'm gonna have to kill you. Sorry." That, along with just casually offering WS milk and chilling with him while giving oders to kill, then coming back to the scene later on when he's brainwashing Bucky… RR played so many layers in this film.

I wonder if marvel would be more likely to add the MCU version of pierce into the comics again? I know he has already appeared but let's face it, in the comics he wasn't exactly memorable

I agree with all the praise Redford has gotten in this movie. He was dynamite. Pierce came off as a very likeable guy, and that is the epitome of Hydra in this movie. You grow to like them, manipulate you without you even knowing, and when the time is right, they strike with ice cold resolve. Redford did such a great job showcasing the Hydra in TWS. Every scene he was in was compelling. I even love how calm and collected he was even when his plan was blowing up in his face! He always felt like he was going to win!
As for The Guard's mailing it in comment...yeah, no he wasn't. This guy stayed to help the actors with off camera work when he was finished shooting into the late hours of the night. Someone collecting the paycheck doesn't go the extra mile like that. Simply BS.
