The camera zooms in on Zac Efron. At least, I believe it is Zac Efron. I’m told he’s in this movie. His name appears on the poster.

And yet, this hulking figure looks little like the Efron of memory. This man on screen, sweat rolling down his cinder-block pecs, looks like he ate “High School Musical” Efron whole. He could be Arnold Schwarzenegger’s flaxen-haired nephew. His six-pack abs are defined to the point that they look airbrushed. His chest is so broad it appears as if he swallowed a jewel safe.
