As the dashing husband, he is fairly okay, but when the tables turn over in Victory Town, he doesn’t stand a chance against the tide of chaos that ensues. It also doesn’t help that the pop-star turned actor doesn’t have the acting chops in him to make it memorable either. Frankly speaking, Jack isn’t a particularly interesting character, to begin with. One of the major grips about all the drama off-screen was Harry Styles’ casting as Jack. #Devour bout me movieNow, coming to the movie I’d let the pre-release gossip off the bat.
