I really liked the movie which was pretty faithful to Clancy's book and, I think, to submarine life itself but the one thing I didn't like about it was the choice of Sean Connery as Ramius. For a supposed Russian speaker, his Scottish accent was a bit jarring to my ears. He did a great job with the role but the believability was compromised. I be curious to know who the producers considered for that part and why they were rejected.
- RajT88 2y agoListen. If you're watching Connery in a film in 1990, you've had decades to learn to suspend disbelief regarding his accent skills.
- blackguardx 2y agoEspecially the Highlander, a film set mostly in Scotland and Connery is supposed to be Spanish...
- RajT88 2y agoMy favorite egregious accent snafu was The Wind and the Lion where he was supposed to be Moroccan tribal leader. Second favorite was the mad barking which was supposed to be Japanese in Rising Sun.
