If you’ve felt disenchanted with Dwayne Johnson’s movie choices, his upcoming role might come as a refreshing change. In the new MMA film directed by Benny Safdie, Johnson steps into a much more somber character. Although he portrayed real-life mixed martial arts legend Mark Kerr in “The Smashing Machine,” this time around, he seems a world apart from his popular “The Rock” persona in the trailer. Instead of bombastic showmanship, he appears thoughtful, introspective, and suffering. Yet, despite the change in demeanor, Johnson still conveys an impression of being able to overpower a bear – but now with hair, adding a unique twist!
