Joseph 'donkey-face' Fiennes was a disgrace

That donkey-face Joseph Fiennes was the wrongest cast ever. Bunching eyebrows, flairing nostrils are all he can do to try hard to "look serious". He is ridiculous. He should not be allowed to work side by side with the brilliant performances by Jeremy Irons and Al Pacino.

I agree, he was mis-cast as a romantic protagonist when he should have played Lorenzo or some other "fool" character. His face always has this mischevious, scheming look that ruins a serious romance.
