Good Action, bad accent

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2003)

I saw this film today and I found it an excellent waste of 90 minutes, nothing groundbreaking or award winning, just good old fashioned fun.
My main gripe though was Statham's accent, the film would have worked in pretty much any European country, with an ex-serviceman from any country in the lead role, so why cast an Englishman and ask him to put on a very unconvincing American accent ???
