I caught it on cable last night.
I kept my mouth shut when Jennifer Lopez played an Italian in Angel Eyes.
I tolerated New York accented Staten Island white girl loud mouth Jennifer Esposito as a Hispanic Los Angeles cop in Crash.
But Gong Li playing a Cuban drug trafficker is going too damn far. What the hell? She LOOKS Asian, and even worse, she has an Asian accent during her speaking parts. To me, it was VERY distracting from a movie that was already having a hard time vying for my attention.
At first I thought it was a clever character. Asian crime lord woman teaming up with Columbian drug cartels.... sounds cool. But once I realized she was supposed to be of Cuban heritage I fell over in disbelief.
Suck.
