A spent force (sadly)


He was like a breath of fresh air (during his transition between Guy Ritchie and action movies) An actor who could deliver a line (with humour, if necessary) and also engage in kick ass fight scenes. He was the 'Michael Caine' of action movies.

But has diluted whatever star-power he once had, in a series of Hollywood blockbusters (which demand less and less from him, with each new project)

His last 5-6 movies involve little more than him laughing at inane-dialogue before jumping into some green screen for another CGI FX shot.

He showed so much potential in his earlier days (Transporter, Safe, etc) but now seems over/under stoic to the point of no return.

He stole the show in Spy (2015).

That's almost a decade ago (and to be fair, the competition to 'steal the show' wasn't that stiff)
I was fine with genre stuff he did...but he even seems to be phoning THEM in nowadays?

I still enjoy seeing him. The films might not be great, but he delivers in my view.

Same, I enjoy his work
