Although I adore Michael Pena, he was not suited for the role that Ricardo Montalban so ably filled in the series of the same name. He made a mistake in accepting the role, and the producers of the movie screwed up royally casting him. I have never said this about a movie with Pena, but it should have featured a more suitable actor. A la Antonio Banderas? Dont blame him. Blame the idiot director.
