a wimp as an assassin it destroys the drama: Sheen looked like a drunken musician destroying a hotel room.
He was a professional assassin, get it? Not a one-time loonie, but a pro who did this many times and was so trained. You may wish to get to know a few Army assassins, the easiest ones to access being snipers. Not a wimp in the bunch.

He started to question the cause, who were the real murderers? maybe Kurtz was the sanest of them all. The portrayal of the resultant conflicted self may come across as wimpy ('unsure' = 'wimpy'), but I didn't get that impression.
Speaking of snipers, I also liked Richard Farnsworth's reminiscing with regret in The Straight Story.
over-reacting) but I mean Sheen doesn't have the gravitas to play the part. Period. Hell, Jim Carrey could play it for the same reasons many here mentioned but he'd still be wimpy Jim.
