Cool runnings simply because of the accents. I'm sure there are many talented actors in jamaica so I don't see why it was necessary to get a bunch of americans to play the parts with the worst accents i've heard in a long time. Not only that, but I didn't buy the whole "white man coming to save the poor little negros" routine either.

that's hollywood....

stories of actual events involving people of color can't made unless dramatic license is used to change the story and add a white "leader".....

and I think Leon was one of the only people from Jamaica in the film ..accents were bad..
