Atrocious acting
Among other things... Mark Strong was the only saving grace in this ridiculous amateurish snoozefest.
shareAgreed Mark Strong was amazing the rest were just embarassing!

any film with a leading role for Freida Pinto is always going to suffer and Antonio Banderas as an Arab?!
Mark Strong is always an excellent actor

Did you just call Tahar Rahiem a bad actor?
You probably don't even realise who he is . . .
I know who he is (French is my second language). He was outstanding in 'A Prophet' but very weak here: it's common for actors who don't act in their native tongue...
shareSo then you know, that he is well-known for multi-lingual roles [he also spoke Scottish Gaelic in 'The Eagle.']
I've seen plenty of his interviews, and his English has come a long way since Prophet. He's pretty much fluent now, I imagine he's wishing to crack into US films.
I'm not talking about his linguistic abilities, it's about him being credible while acting in a foreign language. It's the same with Antonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz, Audrey Tautou (and many others): they seem to act much better in their native language. That's all...

Dude! Everybody did a good job EXCEPT for that retard! I've seen better acting from actors in flicks that won the Razzie award! Everytime the camera turned to him his face was like stuck on stupid ..dafuq?? emotionless acting??

What's the problem with Antonio Banderas playing an arab? Hell, he might have some arab roots coming from Malaga. Is the accent the problem? A director does need some big names and the famous actors that can play an arab are not that many. The director might have gone for someone less famous perhaps, but still, who could do the job instead?
