I'm not saying Vin Diesel or Jason Statham don't have talent (The DEGREE of talent they have is left to your own personal opinion), but they are not fit for the part, if this movie were to be better in quality then say Doom or Lara Croft (Which are the closest to being 'middle-ground', as far as video-game to movie adaptations go, IMO).

However who knows? Vin Diesel is a known video-game player so I think that sort of... enthusiasm might have boosted his ability to portray the character... but then again it might have hindered him as well.

When I first saw "The Transporter" years ago I said Jason Statham should be in "The Hitman" movie if there ever would be one. Not only because he resembles the game character but because in the beginning of the movie he was a real professional and he stayed to his role and it fits into how a hitman should be, professional. Later in the movie he comes out of his role which sucks but ignoring that he seems to fit the part for hitman.... and his bald head reminds me of hitman.... XD

Jam it back in, in the dark.
