The bad: Mel Gibson trying to act seriously did provoke my laughing muscles. It definitely is not meant to be a comedy, but Mel Gibson's performance just is NOT the right choice for this story.
After having so many big blockbuster comedy hits in the nineties, Mel Gibson wanted to be taken seriously. BAD idea Mel! The guy is good at mischievous funny characters, or stereotype macho characters, but he aint no good at serious dramatic acting. I cant help it, but I had to chuckle many times when he tried to act seriously any ways.
Dont get me wrong I am a big Mel Gibson fan. I love his comedies and his action packed thrillers as well. I really do. But every actor has it's good sides and bad sides and acting seriously is just not what Mel Gibson was gifted with....
