When disaster strikes, Dwayne's The Rock & # 39; Johnson is your man

OPINION: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson returns to screens in Fast & Furious presents: Hobbs & Shaw, An impressive double-print title that suggests that the Fast furious The franchise just hangs out waving the hand and "presenting" things, like an imperious spokesperson model.

Of course, there is nothing casual in the F & F franchise, in which people steal cars on high-speed trains, and that will drive you home in your sad little Honda with a sense of non-badbad.

In honor of Luke Hobbs' return, the impossible-to-kill Johnson character is now played in five more and more enjoyable and frenetic parts (the last one was so fast and furious that she had even had Helen Mirren in a cameo), here is a quick badessment of the mbadive wrestler turned actor. Johnson still plays more or less the same character – and he always saves the day.

The men Johnson plays are masters of transportation.

There is nothing that a character played by Johnson can drive. (In 2010 fasterHis character is named "Pilot".)

Although he remains mostly with cars in the F & F the movies – that he drives with a cool nonchalance, as the vehicle is a slight discomfort that needs to be dealt – it's also good with helicopters (San Andreas, rampage), boats (San Andreas), construction cranes (Skyscraper), Taxis (Back to Witch Mountain), and probably Quidditch brooms, unicycles and space shuttles. Hold on.

Johnson's characters have superhuman powers.

To my knowledge, Johnson has never played a real superhero, but he can still fly. Watch it in SkyscraperJumping from said construction crane – a mere mortal would collapse, but Johnson soars. (To be fair, he tries something similar in The other guys and things are not working as well, but it was in 2010 and it was not yet as big. Super powers take time.)

He is also a murmuring animal (rampage), a manly temporal traveler (Jumanji: Welcome to the jungle) and a person able to redirect a torpedo with one hand (The fate of the furious). Someone gives a cape to this man.

Oh, and my publisher asks me to add that he is able to do awkward gyrations with his pectoral muscles (Travel 2: the mysterious island), as shown in a clip (entitled Pec Pop of love!) of the film. I may have watched this video.

They can not be contained.

If you're a character played by Dwayne Johnson, and you're in a hospital with an arm in a casting and you want to get back to the action, you just flex your muscles and bring up the cast, as it. (This happens in Furious 7But I bet Johnson does it at parties.)

If you try to imprison him, he will throw the guards like tennis balls (The fate of the furious) if you think that an earthquake of considerable magnitude can prevent him from saving his family AND bring back his ex-wife while he is there (San Andreas), you have not seen enough of his films.

They always know what to say.

Let's be honest here: Johnson is not the most nuanced actor who works today. (His range is basically a combination of dazzling dazzle, a serious nod and a silent intensity, interspersed with a strange mischievous smile.)

But it's a man who can badure a child who is about to walk on a board hundreds of stories over Hong Kong that everything will be fine (it's in Skyscraper), and you believe it, absolutely. He is also a man who, Furious 7, Announces his arrival with "Woman, I am the cavalry". S & # 39; tilt.

In case of disaster, it's your man.

I have already said it and I repeat it, but when the apocalypse will come, I hope that I will stand near The Rock. Because it will not only carry it against all odds (huge mutant animals! Towers on fire! A tsunami! Vin Diesel!), But it will make you feel better while it's doing so. .

This is Johnson's great gift as an interpreter: he's a charmer whose charisma is as big as his biceps … and it's pretty big.
