Allow me.

Worthington has the wide-eyed charm of the best actor in a Kansas High School. His ability to project emotional subtlety is pretty much lacking though. Tom Cruise looks like the master of emoting in comparison (perhaps Worthington should try the Cruse electric smile/clenched jaw acting dichotomy? It would be a step up from the near-ubiquitous vacuous bucolic appeal.) Plus, his unending "wooooo" yells in almost every acrobatic scene was enough to make any native cut his throat.
