John Turturro plays Agent Simmons in Transformers, a government agent from a secret organization called Sector Seven that has been studying alien robots since the 1930s. Michael Bay directed this 2007 blockbuster, and Turturro seems to be having a good time playing a character who exists somewhere between menacing and ridiculous. Simmons interrogates Shia LaBeouf's teenager, confiscates his car (which is actually an Autobot), and spends the climax running around in his underwear. The role became recurring across the franchise, returning for the sequels with increasingly bizarre material. Turturro has built a career alternating between serious drama and broad comedy, and Simmons lands firmly in the latter category. Whether that works depends on your tolerance for Bay's humor, but Turturro commits fully. His watch has not been identified.
