Review of Spectral

Spectral (2016)
How much does it cost to hire a decent translator?
11 December 2016
I am about 43 minutes into the movie, where they find some children in a factory. And they start speaking a very bad Romanian with Moldavian accent.

I had to rewind, I must've heard wrong. No, I was right.

I do not know if it was an editing error or the translator was on crack. Must be both, since one of the "translators" asks the kids some questions, the children answer, the Sargent asks the "translator" to ask them what she already asked, and she replies with total opposite what the children already answered.

Being that was filmed in Hungary, while the action is supposed to happen in Moldavia (the old Russian Moldova), it is understandable.

The cast, I know quite a few of them. Free trip to Europe was the motivation for this ? I wasn't looking for an Oscar nomination performance, but come on!

And since when Moldavia has the resources to create "super" dung? Sri Lanka would've been more plausible.

If it wasn't on Netflix, I'd ask for my money back. How much does a translator make a year?
