On the basis of his work in the Divergent franchise to date, it's easy to believe that Theo James is actually a terrible actor.

His surprisingly hilarious villain work in dark crime comedy War on Everyone this year proved that notion totally wrong, but that doesn't change the fact that he's soporifically bland as love interest and apparent bada** Four in the latest Divergent movie, Allegiant.

The script sure doesn't help him out at all, but Four is a generic block-of-wood hunk with little character agency of his own, and so it's hard to get at all invested in what he's doing. Considering that his screen partner Shailene Woodley is actually trying to make it work (in vain, of course), she definitely deserved better.
