His poor acting hogs the spotlight, especially when he shares scenes opposite the talented Pearce. He’s a perfectly acceptable action star, but here he turns in a laughably bad performance. Even worse, there are no consequences because Ray can’t be hurt or killed, and the special effects look like they were created in a couple of hours by a pre-teen boy on the family room laptop.ĭiesel is not a great actor, but that’s never been a job requirement to bring the charismatic, cinematic muscle to the big screen.
