Title: Did I miss something here?
Review: I just saw this movie and read all the reviews. Was Koenig (played by Ed Harris) an American who defected to Germany? No one commented on his utter lack of any accent or effort to even make an accent up. Jude Law is an excellent actor, but hey, if youre such a highly trained actor where was your linguist coach too? I wasnt aware that Russians also had English accents. The movie itself (although hardly historically correct) wasnt too bad. Unfortunately, it was the director who ruined it. He should have insisted these actors try to use or get dialect coaching to bring more realism to it. I just couldnt bring myself to believe that I was watching a real German sniper going after a Russian one. Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but this is rediculous.
Is the review positive or negative?
