Dave Bautista is undoubtedly the only actor with range in this picture.

    you don't think Alan Ritchson has range?

    I'm not sure of my own opinion on it, tbh. but I was introduced to him as Thad, so seeing him later on in serious roles was a head turner

    I’m assuming the people who think that have only been introduced to him in reacher and a few action movies since then.

    Stallone had some range at one time.

    Dude, Rocky is a great movie. And First Blood showed some range, too.

    I love Demolition Man and Daylight for reasons other than range.

    I remember seeing this and thinking “wow, he can actually act.” And it’s inconceivable that someone like the Rock or Vin Diesel would do a movie like that.

    Vin Diesel was in Saving Private Ryan

    That was early in his career. When Stallone made Cop Land he was a guy who (despite some recent missteps) could get movies made. He chose the role to show his acting ability. Once Vin Diesel had that kind of juice he put riders into his contracts about whether or not his character could lose a fight.

    He was a very minor character. Who died very early on too.

    That's not fair towards his performance

    It's absolutely fair because it is absolutely true. Those are simply facts. His entire performance was basically one scene which I thought came off a teeny bit of ham fisted but not bad. He simply was not in the movie all that much. To say otherwise is simply inaccurate.
