I'm really trying to get into this show but their horrendous acting is making it really tough. Especially Sizemore. You can barely understand anything his raspy voice says anymore. Need a bad guy to hate...let's cast Tom. Ryan Philippe is doing all he can.
shareOmar Epps is great. His emotionless relentlessness would customarily be the traits of a hero, but he is one of the villains, and in his own way the worst of the villains, since he started out as Swagger's friend. As such he remains a mystery but I think that mystery will unravel as the series continues. Just another element to intrigue the audience.
Tom Sizemore is also perfectly cast as a flawed CIA operative. A massively ugly American. I have no answer for your statement that he is mumbling his lines. He is perfectly understandable to me. His sloppy manner is in accordance with his sloppy morals and does a great job contrasting with Epps' uptight, rigid flawlessness.
I gather we learn more about these two characters in episode 4.
It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.
RIP Roger Ebert
Tom Sizemore is an acting powerhouse. He's charismatic in everything he does, no matter how bottom of the barrel DTV-clunk he takes. Sure, nothing's for everybody, but he adds entertainment value to this show for me. Omar Epps is much different from House, I like his performance too.
