I think he's just got a certain style of acting. He doesn't do many different styles, so I suppose that means he doesn't do acting. He certaintly isn't very expressive (if that's the right word), which means he isn't suited to many of the characters he plays. The result is he does often look rubbish. But then i though he was good in the Matrix, because his style was perfectly suited to the film's whole computer generated, "unnatural" theme. He also wasn't too bad in Point Break... Anyway perhaps he just needs to go back to actor school for a bit, or just pick films that are suited to him a bit better.
