I liked Laurence Fishbourne, too, but honestly: Andre Braugher could improve any movie he is in by doing anything. Most underrated actor ever.

Equilibrium was just an all-around better take on the concept.

Fishburne woulda been fine, but it seemed like the director told him to never emote or something. I think anyone in that role would have been as bad.

The Star Wars prequels could have benefitted from actors worth a crap. Some of the lines are terrible, but a lot of them are decent, and only really suck because of the assholes playing the characters.
