"Ex-Machina": Quietly Engaging, Nothing You Expect

Oscar Isaac is an actor that hasn't quite had his 'breakout' moment, despite being game enough. His performances (each one different from the last) in 2013's "Inside Llewyn Davis" and last year's "A Most Violent Year" were more than strong enough to warrant a leap into the A-List, however, he has stayed frustratingly under the radar.

That's not to say he has stopped trying. Though he is certainly being primed for a huge shift into superstardom with his role in the new "Star Wars" film later this year, Isaac is back with another fiery performance in a small indie.
