Dwayne-Johnson-as-John-Hartley-from-Red-Notice-
Summary More than a decade later, Dwayne Johnson’s darkly comedic turn in the action-packed Michael Bay satire Pain & Gain is still my favorite performance by the iconic wrestler-turned-actor. While Johnson is renowned for his charismatic screen presence and undeniable star power, he’s not known for being a particularly great actor. It’s unlikely that his name will ever appear on the Best Actor ballot at the Oscars.
Pain & Gain Is Arguably Dwayne Johnson's Best Performance Johnson fully committed to the bit While John Cena and Dave Bautista continually push themselves to branch out, try new things, and explore character types they haven’t played before, Johnson is often criticized for playing the same character in every movie. But The Rock is great at what he does.
Pain & Gain's Michael Bay Comedy Suited The Rock Perfectly Bay's brazen, bombastic satire perfectly matched The Rock's comic abilities Bay’s brazen, bombastic sense of humor was perfectly suited to Johnson’s comedic abilities. Johnson isn’t the kind of comedic actor who can capture the quiet awkwardness of human interaction with the subtlety of Catherine O’Hara or Fred Willard or Jason Bateman. Instead, he gets laughs from the outrageousness of his characters.
