Am I the only who thought Thomas Jane was a shockingly atrocious actor in the more significant or impacting scenes? At one point during the sobbing fit at the end, I could have sworn he paused as though the director had called cut or something, then just started to sob again. It made me cringe the whole time. I liked him in Original Sin, but that's about it. I honestly feel like he ruined this movie with his terrible performance.
In saying that, I still rated it 8/10. The ending was fantastic (minus the acting). -

From my point of view it's quite the opposite,he lost his mind and the scream and stop and scream etc its a macabre way to represent hos state of mind at that point,i totally felt for his representation of madness at the end of the movie,cheers

Yes, agree completely. That ending would've been quite intense had this film had a better actor to make it work. A lot of the performances in this were a bit cheesy though, not just the lead, as was much of the film itself. Still, it was entertaining and honestly had me biting my nails, despite the flaws.

I like Thomas Jane, I really do, but yes, that part of the film was bad.
In the theater, we heard people snickering while it was going on. At the time, I paid no attention to it because I loathe people that can't stay quiet in a theater. Absolutely loathe 'em.
The part where he starts dry-firing the weapon to his mouth was particularly corny. He knew their was no bullets left but he still did that? Come on, now.
Overall, he was average at best, he didn't completely kill the film for me, but he did have a part in why, overall, I have a so-so appreciation for this adaptation.
For me, the awful CGI is what did it. I remember that I couldn't wait to see the creatures on screen, and then being totally disappointed in them after seeing it. Ugh"97-XBam.The future ofRock 'n' Roll."
