Dwayne Johnson is celebrated as a prominent movie star, yet his most impressive showcase may be in just 15 minutes of The Other Guys. This action comedy features Johnson alongside Samuel L. Jackson, portraying idealized action heroes. Their thrilling, stylish introduction sets the stage for the story's comedic undertones, emphasizing the contrast between these capable characters and their bumbling replacements. This performance not only showcases Johnson's comedic timing and charisma but also underscores a recurring theme in his career: he often excels when supporting other leads rather than carrying the film himself.
The best part of The Other Guys is the first 15 minutes, featuring Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson as exemplary action heroes, setting up a comedic contrast.
Johnson is smarter, funnier, and more self-aware about his persona in these 15 minutes than in nearly any other film since his WWE days.
