It really did. It was the movie that launched vins career. I mean,he was hand picked by steven spielberg for saving private ryan which was his first role but pitch black was the film that made people notice him.
After fast and the furious and xxx he looked like the next huge star but then he starred in a lot of questionable films. I dont know how he picks his movies.
Even last witch hunter which i thought was okay,it was just a weird choice for his first big role outside of ff and riddikk in a long time.
I think i read his buddy wrote the film based on his D&D characternor some shyt

talk about a vanity project
