10 Actors Who Will Ruin 2020 Films
3. Vin Diesel - Bloodshot
Let's be honest, Vin Diesel has all the charisma of a cardboard box, and that's the main reason why he's failed to hit it big outside of the Fast and the Furious movies, beyond playing a monosyllabic tree in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that is.
He's serviceable enough as the gruff hero in his bread-and-butter action franchises such as The Fast and the Furious, Riddick, and xXx, but his numerous attempts to further diversify over the years, in the likes of A Man Apart, Babylon A.D., and The Last Witch Hunter, have largely fallen flat.
Superhero action-thriller Bloodshot is his latest attempt to crowbar open a new franchisable IP for himself, but even with acclaimed Valiant Comics source material to draw from, one suspects that without a charismatic ensemble to prop him up, this is probably destined for dud territory.
Diesel is absolutely one of those actors better in a group of more effervescent performers - hence his success in the Fast and the Furious franchise - but when he's pushed to the front line, his weaknesses become painfully, cringe-worthily apparent.
