But am I the only one who found Vincent dOnofrio entirely unconvincing in this role? Not serious or sinister enough to be a military guy or a weapons dealer. Could not carry the big bad role. Felt more like I was watching some shady mafia guy in a funny Burn Notice episode.
Most of the characters were not believable. In JP, in both the book and the film Dennis Nedry is motivated by greed to smuggle out the dino embryos for Biosyn. Nedry dies as a result of his attempt to do this, being the first (or one of the first) victim after the park's security is disabled. Dodgson never goes to the island - but in TLW he goes to "site b" to steal dino eggs, and ultimately he dies. Those are the "antagonists". Now, the quintessential movie formula is to have your antagonist die towards the end in some very important moment that the film has been developing to. Plus the antagonist should have created the problem, or made it worse. It was in fact the protagonist Owen Grady who allowed the mutant dino to escape its enclosure in the first place! He was too stupid to check the other side of the wall before going in to the enclosure.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
