LOL yeah he was awful.
I saw someone describe his performance as a bad guy out of a cartoon. The way he walks around jacked to the shithouse being a smarmy prick, not caring about anyone or anything and practically indestructible...like the way he was introduced walking through the streets naked with that dopey grin on his mug.
I sort of liked Jake Gyllenhaal though, he seemed legit as a bad ass, playing it that he was psychotic and a guy you would literally have to kill if you were to beat him. Not big and imposing like Connor was, but highly skilled and experienced, tapped in the head and tough as a piece of iron. Very dangerous combo.
I didnt like the way they filmed the fights. No need for CGI or camera tricks. Rehearse good choreography and film it clear. Aparrently they are doing a second one so we'll see if they learnt anything from the criticism they are copping.
