Nick cannon as a gangster?


You gotta be *beep* kidding me

He's not terrible. I barely remember a lot of his acting work but this was definitely one of his better performances.

Have a review of the film here- https://youtu.be/m8kk3hlq5CE

Going for a youtube channel that both gives people a good idea of the movie and entertains as well so hope you like it.

Arnold as a cyborg, Evans as a super soldier, Ruffalo as a green guy, Cavil as Superman, yea wtf are people thinking! It's crazy how they can imagine people playing something they're not.



State champ in martial arts, trained with firearms, I eFF'n dare you!

I was one of the ones skeptical at first but he actually did a great job. Far better than I expected.

To all the people saying he did good in the role. Well thank you for responding respectfully and I must say that I stand corrected. To all the people getting on my case and saying my post is idiotic get over yourselves. No I didn't want Kanye to play him. That would be ridiculous. Where the *beep* did that come from? Of course I didn't want an actual gangster to play him. it's a movie. I just would expect an actor who has an air of intimidation about him. I didn't expect nick cannon to be able to do that. Also personally I just don't think he's that talentedof an actor. And to kill_da_rainbow. Most of those roles you pointed out are pretty perfectly cast so that was a pretty terrible argument. It was just something that I thought was miscast. If woody Allen got cast as a ruthless mafia don I think people would be a little confused. Just like how I like Jennifer Lawrence as a an actress but think she is totally out of place playing mystique.
