I CANNOT STAND THE VOICE


Im 5 minutes into the movie, and Im concerned that its his real voice.
He sounds retarded. Is he playing a retard in this movie?

reply

Same here, his voice sounded so nasal. Like a caricature or something. But I think it is his real voice

watched it again and it didn't not annoy me at all this time

It's my one major complaint with this movie. Why Mos Def went with that voice I have no idea.

The voice is supposed to annoy you. Just like that ratlike way he has of looking around with his head slightly ducked. He's supposed to be a little two-bit punk that you can't stand. Eventually you start rooting for him. Then you find he's actually an asset to Willis. He grows on you.

But throughout most of the movie you're supposed to be asking why Willis is willing to get killed for this little rat-faced punk. You get your answer.

Yes, the one super annoying thing about this otherwise decent movie.
