I remember seeing this and thinking “wow, he can actually act.” And it’s inconceivable that someone like the Rock or Vin Diesel would do a movie like that.
That was early in his career. When Stallone made Cop Land he was a guy who (despite some recent missteps) could get movies made. He chose the role to show his acting ability. Once Vin Diesel had that kind of juice he put riders into his contracts about whether or not his character could lose a fight.
It’s absolutely fair because it is absolutely true. Those are simply facts. His entire performance was basically one scene which I thought came off a teeny bit of ham fisted but not bad. He simply was not in the movie all that much. To say otherwise is simply inaccurate.

Vin Diesel was in Saving Private Ryan

He was a very minor character. Who died very early on too.
That’s not fair towards his performance
