    Are you retarded? FW was phenomenal! I couldn't even tell that he was American at first. Obvious troll is obvious.

      Okay, we get that you disagree with the OP about the casting, so just shut up already with the "troll" talk.

        I'm from Totenham and I've never heard that accent but then again he did say he was born (can't quite remember where) abroad so that could account for it.

          Yes, he was born abroad, unlike his girlfriend.

            Maybe they cast FW in order to secure US financing. I thought his accent was quite good and he was believable as a soldier.

              Yeah, I thought it was a little odd. The accent seemed spasmodically decent, but I found it hard to accept that he was playing a British soldier. Maybe that's just in retrospect after seeing quite a few films in which he plays an American, though.

                  I found his 'accent' distracting.
                  At one point it went from chimney sweep Cockney to Australian, South African and then back again. In one bloody scene!
                  I've also never seen a squaddie with moobs.

                    His accent's as good as Miranda Richardson's.

                      Probably one of the oddest casting choices in a British film.
