Southland Tales is The Rock's only kino role, he does a great job playing a cowardly idiot actor. If he had stuck to better directors with better scripts he would have been fine, but he wanted to be a blockbuster action hero and he simply doesn't have that appeal and wants too much creative input, and he's just not very creative. He might be decent in that new Safdie movie though, I have hope for him still but he doesn't seem capable of being humbled to the point of understanding his utility as an actor.
