needed a better lead actor

No offence to Paul Walker (RIP) but he seemed to be wildly over-acting in this movie. Shouting and swearing does not qualify as 'acting'. Then there's his appearence....He looks like a 16 year old male model (rather than a tough wiseguy) This might be the norm for the FAST & FURIOUS franchise...but it ruins (what was otherwise) a gritty thriller.
Maybe Mark Wahlberg would have fared better?

Disagree, I was surprised just how good he was in this, shame he didn’t pick other interesting roles like this instead of just doing fast and furious over and over because the guy definitely had talent in the right role
