Ya I remember that buggin me in American Gangster too. I don't know why they didn't just let Mel do his usual "American" voice, I was actually shocked years ago when I first found out he was an Aussie because its such a good accent. But trying to do an ecclectic Boston accent? Not so much. What was the point of it even being set in Boston?? Seems like a waste of months of practicing voice lessons for no real reason...but then again basically everything in that movie seemed like an odd choice. I guess it goes with the theme.
