Yeah it seemed like he was trying waaaay too hard to be a tough guy. His cover should've been blown right there on the spot w/o the phone call

Oh I don't think the movie works w/ those roles reversed either. I just think there's better actors & better ways to convey the robotic type. Robert Patrick showed us how it's done in T2.

It had potential but never managed to live up to much. Needed a better bad guy for starters.
