Good instincts from Justin Malone, mixed result

Justin Malone gives this role a little extra shape without making a big show of it. It never really locked in for me. The performance does the job, but not much more than that. I kept waiting for a more specific angle on the character. A few choices felt pushed, and that pulled me out of the scene. It feels like the role needed another layer that never quite showed up. I can see someone else being kinder to it, but I did not fully get there.
