Can Mark Wahlberg Act?

I thought he could until I rented "The Happening". Nuff said.

The maqn cannot act unless it is in an action role. Ask him to play Max Payne and his performance is great, ask him to play Max the Architect whose wife is cheating on him, and he hits a brick wall.

And I'm still pissed that I had to sit through The Happening. I wished that a "Happening" would happen to me so that I wouldn't have to watch the whole thing.

i have known mark for over 16 yrs when he first came to see me at my warner bros office at dan blatt productions he was just getting some heat but i saw his ability and chops way back then we were talking about doing a project i had the boston colledge point schaving scam then we went to see film icon arnon milchon we are in talkls with him and james gray to do lucky luciano which IM sure is the best yet to come.LUCIANO PROJECT WILL BE MARK S OSCAR WIN.HE WILL SHOW A SIDE OF HIM NEVER BEFORE SCENE COMPARING HIM TO BRANDO,LANCASTER FLYN ETC. AND THAN GOING ON HIS WAY WITH HIS OWN WINNING STYLE . BDE

Ever have a bad day at the office? Ever commit to something that looked good initially, but that your heart ultimately wasn't in? Ever get matched with a mentor/leader/manager who just didn't encourage you or direct you to reach your potential? He can act; many solid actors have a "dog" performance they'd rather forget.

Had to vote 'No' after watching the sheer awfulness that is 'The Happening'. I've seen better acting in my sucktastic drama class. If Wahlberg was told to act completely wooden in order to support some zany B-movie vision of MNS's, then he really needs to speak up. I kinda think that this must be the case b/c ALL the acting in this movie sucked from Zooey right down to Hotdog dude.
