The Movie Would Be OK If British Actors Would Learn An American Accent


Nobody wants to hear their British accents as it is. When they sing they try to sound American, they may as well do the same when they act. Why don't they just hire American actors like Alec Baldwin?

Harggh Harggh.. Im assuming you are taking the piss so will be nice. However the rest of London might take a different approach.

As an American i take OFFENSE to your mouth....If you don't like Authentic British Gangster films then go somewhere else...this film is aces ....R.I.P. Patrick Tate, Craig Rolfe, Anthony Tony Tucker....no matter what you may have thought of these three they deserve to rest in peace

reply

Don't forget Pat Tate had a 2 year old son at the time and Craig Rolfe had a six year old in 1995.....have some respect for their familes and leave them alone and in peace

I'm not even going to read the other replies to this. I can only say...

Why don't you go *beep* off yourself. This movie wouldn't be the same without British incomprehensible accents. Its *beep* wild.

Since when have Brits tried to sound American when they sing????

British music is so distinctive because of the fact they don't sound bloody yanky.

OP is a muppet - clearly.

You might as well make the film in America then and have an all American cast, complete with Hollywood explosions and fake car rolls. Really, is that what you want. Well if that cranks your handle then go and watch a Hollywood movie and leave the British stuff to people who will enjoy it. Me, I enjoy both types, for the movies that they are. And I enjoy the differences between them.

Now why the beep would they even consider casting Americans to play the roles about historic British events dumbest idea I've ever heard just as well you ask you Ellen Barkin to play former secretary of state Rice while you're at it

Alec Baldwin playing Carlton Leach, I probably would pay to see that.
