Wtf is his agents problem? Keeps on getting out in the shittiest films with no marketing.
How many of these have you guys even heard of?
Especially disliked by me was this one, which was uneventful and went nowhere
I liked 8 mile and the adjustment bureau, though, and there's the MCU.
I remember hearing about the majority of those.
With that said I have never heard of this Desert Warrior movie and the only reason I know about Elevation is that on a rainy night my wife was hosting a women’s night so I had to de ass the area and went to the a theater to see any movie and Elevation was showing.
It was fine and clearly trying to set up a franchise.
I have seen like 20% of those and overall he is a great part of an ensemble cast or supporting character, but the ones where he is a lead have been mediocre movies that he certainly didn't elevate. Elevation would have been a terrible movie no matter who played the role, but he didn't make it fun despite the ridiculous premise like a lot of other lead actors are able to do.
I don't think he is bad, just not fit to be a lead and he picks a lot of lead roles in mediocre projects without getting a few great ones to stand out.
