Connelly and Bana both had utterly thankless acting roles in Hulk. She conveyed a wonderful range of complex emotion with little in the way of dialog, while he did his damnedest to convey almost none with many lines. They both succeeded, and the film wouldn't have worked without them both hitting on all pistons.
And Nolte was, as one reviewer 'bugfuck nuts'... also appropriate. Of course, there's little evidence he was *acting*, but that's neither here nor there.
I have to admit, the point at which I really had to wonder what the *HELL* parents were doing bringing their 4 year old kids to this movie was the dog-attack. Up until that point, I thought that most of the more interesting plot elements would go right over their heads effortlessly, but *that*... the point at which Bruce gets even more enraged and breaks the dog's jaw clamped on his shoulder by just *flexing*... gah. 'Force of nature' comes to mind.
