Oh Keanu Reeves is in it. It must be a crock. Well he is far better than Ethan Hawke was in the similarly themed Training Day. Decent crime movie although it fell into cliche in the last act. Shame Hugh Laurie is in it. Despite being a Brit myself, I find his acting and accent almost an embarrassment when he portrays a North American.

Really? I haven't seen this particular movie, but based on watching House I've found his American accent so good that I actually used to think he was American.

Kinda sounds like its trying to be a wooden spoon stirring the pot.

I'm not the type of person who believes everything they hear, which explains why I decided to watch the film to begin with. I question their version of events just as much as I do the original story. I don't care which way you shake it, there are still enough holes in the original story and unanswered questions to warrant an official re-investigation. One with a calm, collected, and open-eyed America behind it, not one that is used to push a pre-made agenda on an emotionally vulnerable public. Of course that would involve an American government that still has at least a small connection to the original event admitting it was wrong, I don't think we'll ever see that happen on that large of a scale in our lifetime.

I didn't mean to offend, I merley meant it sounds interesting, to hear different views and differnet opinions and speculation. And yeah I agree, their are allot of inconsistencies either way you look at it.

I wrote this on facebook, but I'm too lazy to write another few paragraphs to describe this amazing documentary.

Such an amazing documentary. Peaceful protests started by thousands of monks because of 2-3 monks being beaten by police. The number of protesters snowballed to reach more than 100,000 people walking the streets peacefully and even when the military used force, not once did the protesters turn violent. It's a shame that even after such powerful demonstrations the protests were quelled by the military. This documentary captures really powerful and moving parts of humanity. The power to respond to violence with peace with everyone joining together in the cause for change. People like this give me hope for humanity as a whole, only if it is a faint glimmer only to be snuffed out soon after. My heart goes out to people who still suffer under such rule. It's a shame, a shame great people like you have to live in fear because of your government who refuse to give up their power.

Maybe it is because I am so used to hearing him with his middle class voice that anything else from him just doesn't sound right. Even Christian Bale who I really rate as an actor doesn't always convince me with his American accent. However Dominic West and Idris Elba (both from The Wire) have superb accents and I actually thought that they were both American as they hadn't done a huge amount of over here and not known to me. Colin Farrell does a great accent too.

For a zero budget film this was surprisingly good concerning sex trafficking in this country. It didn't resort to too many tired gangster cliches and had something to say about the sad state of our country even if it couldn't expand on them due to budget constraints.

It's funny that you say that because my wife and I just watched The Fighter the other day and were talking about how impressed we were with Christian Bale's accent in that movie. Not only is he able to do a great American accent but he was able to do a convincing regional Massachusetts accent, something even American actors usually butcher.
