This is the same problem I have with Vin Diesel: Well-known Actors sought for sheer physical resemblance to a character is a much less credible method in casting selection, rather then on the actor's innate and shown talent on screen... I feel this is why they chose Timothy Olyphant. 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.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
