Was it me or did this film go out of its way to stop any action occuring? Why did Mos put on such a dumb voice?

Agree....Mos is a very capable actor (he had a small but very good part in "The Woodsman), so it was a bit disappointing that they had him affect such an annoying voice for this movie. I don't see how his regular speaking could've hurt, at least he wouldn't have sounded like a functional retard.

havent seen this movie but i know exactly what you mean...its especially obvious when english/british actor are forced into doing an american accent...some to my untrained ears sound ok...but most sound fucking retarded, and if they dont even sound american to be it must be awful for you americans!! forcing some actors into doing crappy accents just ruins it for the viewers imho..

lol yeh....that was one of the inspirations behind the previous post!! it also annoys me when it happns in say, sin city, with clive owen....i mean would it really have impacted on the character if he spoke the way he does instead of a faux american accent?!

Yeah, Mos is good actor.

He was nice in "Woodsman" and in
"
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

which reminds me of....->

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.- William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
