10 Actors Who Gave Great Performances In TERRIBLE Recent Movies
2. Jason Momoa - Fast X
Take a bow Jason Momoa, for basically single-handedly making the worst Fast and the Furious film a (mostly) tolerable sit.
Momoa gleefully devours the scenery as Fast X's vengeful, Joker-esque villain Dante Reyes, giving a performance of such energy and personality that it couldn't be more diametrically opposed to Vin Diesel's charisma-vacuuming protagonist, Dominic Toretto.
Whether Momoa's painting the toenails of slain men or introducing himself to Dom as "Dante, enchanté," he's acting in a totally different movie to everybody else slumming it in this thing - and a far more enjoyable one, to be clear.
For all of Fast X's leaden action, risible dialogue, and ropey plot twists, Momoa puts the whole-ass movie on his gigantic shoulders and carries it all the way to the finish line.
The only upside of this movie ending on a hilariously abrupt, widely mocked cliffhanger? We know that Momoa's gonna return to mug it once more in Fast 11.
Momoa's so far ahead of everything else in this movie quality-wise that it doesn't feel right to call it a mere performance - it's basically a public service.
