...Chris freakin' O'Donnell! Man, couldn't they have gotten a better actor for that character? No matter what role he gets, he over does it and makes it look like he's acting. This was really upsetting to me because everyone else was so great! This dude shouldn't be in the business anymore, IMO.

Maybe the casting crew just wanted to put Michael Keaton (Batman) in the same picture as Robin (Chris O'Donnell), hahahaha!

But seriously, Jack's character was supposed to be a real idealist, so O'Donnell looks kind of naive to fit the part.

I haven't been a fan of O'Donnell, but I liked his portrayal despite abovementioned shortcomings. Felt I could identify with his character.
