From impressive physicality in Marvel's Avengers universe to
solid dramatic chops in a film like Rush, Hemsworth is a great leading man in the right role - but here he seems miscast (because most hackers have NFL physiques), off - balance (what accent are we going for?)
As ever, the director has a real gift at working with actors; Richard Pryor's
dramatic chops surprised viewers of Schrader's «Blue Collar» back in 1978, and Cedric the Entertainer's
solid turn here should do likewise.
