He's not in very much of it. He plays a cop (Denzel is his Chief of Police) and Denzel is sleeping with Dean's wife. Then Dean and his wife die and all of the evidence points to Denzel as the killer.
Dean's character is a pretty bad guy. He beats his wife and he's involved with some pretty high profile crime. Because he is dead for much of the movie, he's not in a whole lot of it.
From what he was in, I thought he did a pretty great job. Nothing award-winning, especially since his part is fairly small, but he's definitely a great actor. Here's hoping this role will lead to bigger and better ones.
As for how he looks, it depends on your opinion on facial hair. I'm not a big fan of it, and Dean's sporting a lot of it in this movie so I didn't think he looked all that great. If you saw his eps of
The Division, he was in the process of growing his face out for
Out of Time when he filmed those eps, so he was looking pretty scruffy by the time he filmed the movie.
