Over/underacting by well known actors

Rating: 5/10 (17 January 2014)

SGT Dap is either too dumbed down, or they definitely needed someone else to play this role and put not only some feeling but I think to make this role more believable use someone with military knowledge/background. The way the character is currently played, anyone with a skerrick of military background would laugh at this 'Sergeant' as he is a pussy, with no command behind his voice.
As for Ben Kingsley trying to portray a Kiwi (New Zealand) accent, ummmm, crap is the only description I can use to portray his mangling of the Kiwi accent. Obviously trying to get the Kiwi's to watch this movie, but all I can say is that they are going to be disappointed, very disappointed.
In closing, it was not a 'bad' movie, however, the 2 main 'critiques' above really let this movie down, also you could 'see' what was going to happen next, it was that predictable, which partially ruined the story as nothing untoward/unexpected happens.
And, no, I have not read the book/s.
Cheers
