With so one many actots playing characters in a certain way-a certain theme- then slap bang in the middle is a guy who can not act, at all. Denzel Washington is a truly amazing actor. His son ( nepotism in all its forms) is like a piece of cardboard. Great scenes ( without the son) then wham mr cardboard box is again back with his two facial expressions.

Putting Bale next to mr Washington- I can only imagine what's going through Bale's mind. Wtf is wrong with the world? I've been acting for 30 years , learning a craft and this guy : Plays a jock in ballers ( that he could do) and now he's sharing an equal footing on screen as me! At least marky mark in the boxer movie could hold his own- a bit.

I just found it hard to be immersed into movie then switch - I'm watching a college kid play cat.
