Dave Bautista is about as good at acting as he is professional wrestling…he's great when just asked to stand around and look menacing, but if you ask him to talk or emote, you're asking too much.
"House of the Rising Sun
" is the story of Ray (played by Bautista), a crooked cop who spent six years in prison before being hired as security at a brothel/illegal casino fronting as a nightclub upon his release. One night, while Ray is covering the door for his buddy who no-showed his shift, a pack of shotgun toting thugs instruct him to lead them to the vault or he'll have to talk to the boom stick. Ray, ever the cool cat, calmly leads the masked thugs to the vault…so calmly, no suspicions are aroused despite walking through a busy nightclub environment. Anyway, the thugs get their money, but while Ray is leading them out, the owner's kid sees the thugs and proceeds to shout at the top of his lungs, "OMG! THEY'VE GOT SHOTGUNS!" (paraphrasing)
