i have to disagree with the previous commentator opinion . washington accent be about a spot on for a yank a be we will say pitt be in snatch to an irish tinker . the movie while obviously low budget ( no different than we will say my beautiful laundrette or mona lisa at this particular time in uk production ) and yet it concentration on the inherent drama of a confused and conflicted ex para in a non empathetic society totally over ride it budgetary limitation . this be an above average movie ( and a rare one ) of it genre and adequately display washington versatility a an actor .
