If you donu2019t mind sponcon, youu2019ll enjoy Florence Pugh as real-life wrestler Saraya u201cPaigeu201d Bevis in this WWE production. Johnson appears as a corporate version of himself, though thereu2019s an intriguing scene where he transforms into the Rock. Most people (and the man himself) tend to use his names interchangeably. But I think the Rock is best understood as a distinctive character, as different from Johnson as u201cThe Rock Obamau201d was from our 44th president. The wrestler was brash and loud, a bit of Elvis impersonation plus preacher intonation and rap-battle affectation, blended together with fast-talking patter and enough preschool vulgarity (roody-poo?) to thrill the kids. Actually, I think his original wrestling career as the Rock is still Johnsonu2019s greatest performance. But he hasnu2019t always embraced that persona in his movie work. Sometimes he tries hard to avoid it.</p>n</div>”,”alt”:”‘Fighting With My Family'”,”image_credit”:”Robert Viglasky”,”url”:”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/dwayne-johnson-movies-ranked/”,”image_id”:3640152,”image”:”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fighting_with_my_family-publicity_still_3-h_2019.jpg?w=1024″,”sizes”:{“pmc-gallery-s”:{“src”:”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fighting_with_my_family-publicity_still_3-h_2019.jpg?w=320″,”width”:320,”height”:180},”pmc-gallery-m”:{“src”:”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fighting_with_my_family-publicity_still_3-h_2019.jpg?w=640″,”width”:640,”height”:360},”pmc-gallery-l”:{“src”:”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fighting_with_my_family-publicity_still_3-h_2019.jpg?w=800″,”width”:800,”height”:451},”pmc-gallery-xl”:{“src”:”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fighting_with_my_family-publicity_still_3-h_2019.jpg?w=1024″,”width”:1024,”height”:577},”pmc-gallery-xxl”:{“src”:”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fighting_with_my_family-publicity_still_3-h_2019.jpg?w=1280″,”width”:1280,”height”:721}},”fullWidth”:1020,”fullHeight”:575,”mime_type”:”image”,”ad”:””,”appleSongID”:null,”enableAppleGA”:false,”additionalDescription”:null,”subtitleColor”:null,”additionalSubtitle”:null,”additionalSubtitleColor”:null,”ads”:{“html”:”t

Disneyu2019s fourth best Witch Mountain </em>movie, but Johnsonu2019s performance as Vegas cabbie Jack Bruno deserves attention. Itu2019s the first time he played a loser, with bills piling up in a cruddy motel room and NASCAR dreams fading into criminal convictions. Could the actor relate to Jacku2019s frustration? He was supposed to spend the 2000s taking the reins from Schwarzeneggeru2019s whole Planet Hollywood action generation. Instead, Hollywood turned to fantasy franchises and superheroes, making action stars out of Tobey Maguire, Hugh Jackman, Orlando Bloom, Hayden Christensen, Christian Bale, Shia LaBeouf, the Harry Potter kids, the Narnia</em> kids and Sam Worthington.

Conversely, the best actor who ever got trapped on a frenemy mission with Johnson is Jon Bernthal, who plays the tense ex-druggie in this solid cartel thriller.

You either believe Southland Tales</em> is the epic bizarro statement of 21st century ruin, or you think all the dialogue sounds like a TED talk someone smoked through a gravity bong. Speaking as a respectful skeptic, the thing I do love in this surreal meander is Johnson as Boxer Santaros. (Now thatu2019s</em> a name!)

He doesnu2019t usually spark chemistry with his female co-stars u2014u00a0he might be too respectful and wifeguy-ish for eroticism u2014u00a0but his dance with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Mandy Moore is genuinely sexy, and theyu2019re dancing to freaking Moby</em>.</p>n</div>”,”alt”:””,”image_credit”:””,”url”:”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/dwayne-johnson-movies-ranked/”,”image_id”:0,”image”:””,”sizes”:{“pmc-gallery-s”:[],”pmc-gallery-m”:[],”pmc-gallery-l”:[],”pmc-gallery-xl”:[],”pmc-gallery-xxl”:[]},”fullWidth”:0,”fullHeight”:0,”mime_type”:”image”,”ad”:””,”appleSongID”:null,”enableAppleGA”:false,”additionalDescription”:null,”subtitleColor”:null,”additionalSubtitle”:null,”additionalSubtitleColor”:null,”ads”:{“html”:”t
