He wasn't an *athletic* sword-fighting pirate, and he had a weak, 
mincing run in the Caribbean movies.   I never believed he could win a 
fight except by luck.   Vlad is a tough ghetto kid/adult.

I haven't seen the other movie.

Vlad delivers sharp sarcasm and sort of a quirky comedy.    I guess 
anytime you have a famous actor playing a role, no matter how close that 
actor is to the role, we see the actor.
