Eleanor's home sick and this movie is a mixture of violence, swearing and soft porn (none of it involving RB, sadly) so I watched it on mute and fast forwarded mostly. He has more scenes than I expected and quite a nice, juicy role. One-note but he does as much with it as he can -- he's a mildly brutal small town sheriff and gets to be menacing and glare and at one point straddle the male lead on a counter top and put a gun to his head which was disturbingly hot dramatic.
It doesn't end well for him.
Seeing this, I'm starting to think that casting him as the hero in The Sentinel was going against type; he's played a wide range of roles but if you added them up, most have him in the darker/sleazier end of the spectrum for all the Mack/Jim characters he's done.
I have to say though, he's convincing in all of them; funny, evil, smooth, sleazy, honorable, goofy, average; he's very good.
