...seems surly and bratty, and where the part calls for tortuous introspection, Hawke settles into a lifeless, gravelly monotone. For the most part, Hawke doesn't seem to know the implications of what he's saying. Accordingly, little chemistry develops with Ophelia because Stiles spends much of her screen time pouting and skulking. The only discernable reason that the two are a match for one another is because they are equally petulant.
