He honestly felt like the weak link for me which is shocking since I think he's a wonderful actor. But I could never figure out what his accent was or why he felt it was necessary to even use a different accent when he was playing a U.S. army colonel.

Yeah, I thought he was supposed to be African or Caribbean, and that made me think he was going to have a real role here.

Imagine that.

Well if there was any comedy in this film it came from Forrest. I mean realllllllllllly dry, but there were moments.
The thing about Forest is that's he's so real, so down to earth. He's like a big teddy bear. You just have to like the guy.
Forrest plays himself and as always did a fine job.

I think he was great in this movie. On the other hand, I also think it's a shame that this role is what's offered. He's so much more capable.

It's a Boston accent. Or should I say, a bad Boston accent.
Trying to create a funny, engaging YouTube channel. If you guys check it out, hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.

Sadly his characters didnt have much to do. But that can be said for all of them except the interpreter, this was very much a film about her, the rest of them were just well there.
