There are movie roles actors don‘t recover from. More often than not it‘s a big budget movie where someone takes a chance on a lesser known actor playing a leading role and that actor has to come through. If he can he is instantly a superstar (i.e. Chris Pratt in Guardians, J-Law in Hunger Games), if he can‘t he‘ll vanish into obscurity (Hayden Christensen in SW Ep 2/3). Sorry to say, Dane Deehan is clearly in the latter category. That‘s not to say that with a different lead this movie would have been a success, but at the very least it would have been watchable. Deehan is as unlikable as you can get in a leading role, his chemistry with Cara Delevingne is non existent and he presents his lines like he is reading off a teleprompter that is lasered into his retinas. He is also committing one of the cardinal sins of acting by acting cooler than he actually is. I have no problem if someone does it in a comedy, making fun of his own character (i.e Chris Pratt in Guardians). But Deehan was dead serious in this movie. I‘m curious to see when and if ever he gets another lead role, but I'm willing to bet it won't be a big budget movie. Indie films maybe. Perhaps a voice in the next Pixar film. TV probably. But the big ship has sailed. I'm not blaming him by the way. If you get offered a role like this, you accept. Whoever auditioned and casted him however should be locked up in prison next to the people who put pineapple on pizza and the guy I saw the other day driving a GREEN Ferrari.

@galileo5 I would say all main casting has been a fail. Dana ? completely agree. Cara? She is the second part why the relationship is off. She has one expression (the same she uses in photo-shoots) the whole movie. She cant express emotion, nothing. (Same problem as she in the Suicide Squad where her Enchantress is just not relatable). Clive Owen just makes the "bad guy" look stupid. And wtf Rhianna.
