There is a long list of crappy actors who've chosen some pretty awesome movies to star in.

Keanu Reeves being the big one off the top of my head.

Can The Rock be a credible action star? Sure. It's time for him to hire someone who can choose a decent script.

I mean, this all assumes that he *wants* to be a part of quality movies, which is probably clearly not true.

I think he wanted to be; which is what led him to things like Be Cool and Southland Tales - Will Hunting Jul 27, 15:19 4
- I love his perfomance in Be Cool almost as much as his work in The Rundown. - David Jul 27, 15:40
- That was him trying to stretch into something beyond action. - Dignan Jul 27, 15:26 2
  - (Vin Diesel is a pretty solid analogue.) - Dignan Jul 27, 15:30 1
    - I love Vin Diesel but if you are describing Pitch Black and xXx as successful franchises, I'm not with you. - David Jul 27, 15:42
