The Welshman - Dominic Purcell (Davies)
Dear Jebus,
Dominic Purcell's "Welsh" accent in this was really bad. Fair enough if he even could pull off a half decent 'English' accent in this, but it just sounded like he was wavering in an out of an Australian accent constantly, which was a bit distracting.
I understand that his Mother is Irish, and he was born in England, but left at a very early age and grew up in Australia, before ending up in America where he makes a decent living as an actor now.
No complaints about his acting, but that accent was truly woeful.
Most likely, Americans etc won't pick up on this, but just interesting to hear what anyone from Wales / England etc though about Dominic Purcell's accent in this.
Anyhow, no big deal, as it's hardly going to be nominated for too many awards.
I know sometimes Holywood feel they need to bring in 'names' to draw a crowd to watch their movies, but surely they could have found a decent Welsh actor to play the Welsh man.
It's a shame to see Robert De Niro, an actor I would have great respect for in his earlier films taking roles in middle-of-the-road movies such as the classy titled "Killer Elite", *coughs*, but I suppose we're in the middle of a recession and what needs must etc.
