All I keep hearing about lately is that “The Rock can actually act!” now that people have seen Dwayne Johnson's new movie, The Smashing Machine. But, hello? Did people not see 2013's Pain & Gain? Because I did, and I could have told you that awhile ago.
But look, I get it. A lot of Dwayne Johnson’s best movies are action flicks, so he hasn’t always had the opportunity to flex his acting muscles. Even though critics seem to be raving about his “scarily unstable” performance in The Smashing Machine, I feel like Johnson has already shown nuance as Paul Doyle in Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain.
