    Tyler simply is not a good fit for this type of character. He is a brilliant businessman, a good director of a certain type of movie, namely, movies he writes the screenplay for, and a serviceable actor. He cannot pull off a serious, gritty, hardcore performance such as this. I laughed when I first heard he was doing it.

    See the movie for yourself first, then make your own decision.
