    oh my...I must agree, Leo's accent is not sounding so good.

    I like the idea of the movie though. It's like spoon feeding world issues to the north american masses, which sometimes really needs to be done I think.

    It was a very good movie but the accent was annoying me the entire time. Also, the entire movie was a giant advertisement for smoking..I don't think there was a single scene where Leo wasn't smoking or trying to bum a cig.

    Thats because he plays a mercenary, and they tend towards bad habits

    Plus everyone smokes at home (zimbabwe) so its authentic


    Americans......

    I think this is funny cause when I first saw the preview & heard the accent, I really wondered how accurate it was. It did sound contrived, and he's not an actor known for doing good accents, so I'm glad to hear it wasn't just my ear having a problem with him...

    If you ever hear a real zimbabwean or south african you'll realise just how wide of the mark it was!

    Okay, we get it, you're from Zimbabwe and Leo sucks at the accent.

    If you get it, then why are you repeating it?

    The movie doesn't look all that good, but then again I've never been one for action films. Unless it's "Stop, or my Mom will shoot!".:)

    Well, there we go, the pillar of excellent action films. What film could even dare to hold a candle to it? :D

    I couldn't resist.

    leo dicaprio is a decent-looking actor, but he definietely cannot act.
