Johnson proved that he can punch in comedy with solid action feats and that he was born to be the star of action comedies. His terrific chemistry with co-star, Seann William Scott was also praised immensely.
Pain & Gain (2013)
There's so much to adore about The Rock in this movie. With Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Mackie as gymnasts, Johnson manages to hog all the limelight. Directed by Michael Bay, Johnson’s epic character pull-off is one of his best performances.
Furious 7 (2015)
The Rock owns The Fast franchise in every way. Johnson gave life to Hobbs as he flexes his arms and rambles with a massive revolver.
Rampage (2018)
Johnson pulls a battle with a bunch of mutants supported by a super-sized ape. The Rock was truly fantastic in this movie. Directed by Brad Peyton, the science fiction monster was based on the video game series Midway Games.
Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Spin-off of the Fast and Furious franchise, David Leitch draws the best out of Johnson. The Rock’s comedy and action chops provides much to the action film. Both Johnson and his Jason Statham’s kick-butt sequences were highly appreciated.
Happy Birthday Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson!
