bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 you know its too bad The Rock isn't better at picking scripts, he really has such good charisma and is a natural on screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 Well let's be honest here. I doubt the Rock is getting looks for the heavy hitters. This is probably the best he gets offered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 This is basically the Rock's version of Vin Diesel's Pacifier. Except that the Rock is a better actor and has alot more charisma. And this movie doesn't look like shit. It looks like a fun family movie. You know what I think the world is ready for? Mindless action flicks. Just over the top, stuff blowing up, that was fucking impossible, rated R action flicks like the 80's and 90's gave us. And the Rock is the perfect lead for those movies.

The closest thing we've gotten thus far in the past 3 years came from another wrestler...and it bombed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 Yeah, but that was Stone Cold. He doesn't have the look of Hollywood hero. Villan maybe. But the fact he Can't act doesn't help either. Plus there was alot more wrong with that movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
