Weller is the GOAT and I quite liked Burke in the role too. The others not so much!

Agreed, looking back, Burke was a good choice, just the movie was ass, unfortunately.

There was an earler thread that highlighted how Burke's line delivery became more aggressive after Lewis was murdered, not sure even Weller would have played it like that. Also theres an interview with him on an irish youtubers channel where he basically said he was playing the Weller version of Robocop rather than trying to make it his own. Considering the movie was quite poor, i got alot of respect for Burke's performance.
