Accents

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2006)

Was anyone else completely turned off to this film right at the beginning after noticing what little effort ANY of the actors put into their accents? I'm sorry, but no one sounded like they were born in Vienna. They all had these horribly overdone semi British accents where you just over pronounce every word to make it sound like you are speaking the dialect. I thought it was really pathetic, especially because Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti are such great actors. There are language coaches in Hollywood, right? Or do filmmakers just not bother with that sort of thing anymore? Sorry, but it made the entire film unbelievable.
Beyond that, pretty much everything else in the movie disappointed me also. But my first and major complaint would have to be the accents.
