Gyllenhaal does find depths in a character you won’t find in the script though.
was an action flick of such gross stupidity that it won five deserved Razzie nominations , including for worst movie, and another for worst actor, an unjust slam at the late Patrick Swayze -- fresh off "Dirty Dancing" and a year away from "Ghost" -- who brought a Zen-like cool to the role of a club bouncer with fists of fury.
Gyllenhaal’s total commitment to the role of a former Ultimate Fighting Champion and philosophy major reduced to breaking up bar brawls makes all the difference.

There’s also a gator and underwater fighting in the mix. Sweet.
