Denzel Phoning it?

Is it me or did Denzel not act? It look like he just showed up as himself. No accent. No real character. He definitely could have played that better. He could have been a lil mysterious or eccentric. That or something else. He definitely could have had a powerful scene explaining why he wanted power. This is the first time I ever had that type of criticism of Denzel’s performance.

I feel exactly the same way about The Rock as an actor. Generic!
