    You ever seen ANY rapper try to act (besides Mos Def)? The make Hayden look like a 40 time Oscar winner. He's a far better actor than you give him credit for. I'd say he's a good actor. At least he actually has range as an actor. Unlike say Denzel Washington, who plays the same damn 2 characters over and over.

      Mark Wahlberg is a pretty good actor, so is Andre Benjamin, Tupac was very good, Will Smith is good and I don't know of any others but anyway, Christensen is awful. His attempt at showing emotion is laughable and he is stiff all the time. If someone else was in this movie in his place it would've been 10 times better.

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        I would not consider Will Smith a rapper, Mark Wahlberg is sketchy, but some of his movies are good and once again not really a rapper, what did he have one album when he ws 18? Tupac wasn't acting, he was just being himself, reciting lines, it's not a stretch for someone from the streets to play *gasp* someone from the streets, lol. Though I did like a couple of Pac movies. But none of the guys you've listed (except Will Smith, and even Smith had some so-so performances early in his career, but he is great now.) can really be taken too seriously as an actor. And be my guest to go ahead and list the 100+ rappers who are FAR worse than Hayden is, when it comes to acting and life in general. The funny thing is with all the movie critics in here, is that you could scrutinize EVERY movie ever made and found something wrong with them, but is that really that fun to do?

          I don't know how you can say that Will Smith or Marky Mark aren't rappers but whatever. Tupac wasn't a thug in any way and acknowledge that the Thug life thing was an act. Anyway, your boy Hayden is awful.

            I think the only movie I've ever liked Hayden in was Shattered Glass.

            Everything else of his (minus the "Anakin finally loses it" scenes from Episode III, where I think he pulls it off perfectly) is sub-par, at best.

                No, it was an act. He was a dancer before all the rap stuff blew up. This "thug" went to an arts high school and took ballet. He was as much a thug as Vanilla Ice was.

                  He was shot, brandished weapons at people, got in numerous fights, spit on reporters, I could go on and on, he was a thug. Jeffery Dahmer worked at a factory, but he wasn't a factory worker, he was a serial killer.

                    Your "impecabble logic" strikes again.

                        I was using jmood logic, since Tupac was in an arts school, there was no way he could be a thug? RIIIIGHT.

                          Saw this at the $1.50 theater tonight. Thought it was a pretty good popcorn flick. The girl was hot and Samuel Jackson as a ruthless bad guy was worth the price of admission.

                          Only complaint was that the ending was abrupt and didn't even address his partner (unless it was in the credits). Last time we saw him he still caught in the telephone tower.

                              So you're saying the blonde British accent dude that was playing video games was his mom the entire time? I missed that.

                                Well she was his partner! That other guy was just another Jumper trying to get bye! So in a sense he was just no one! So no sense in explaining him!
