Goofs

Many dialogue scenes have a horrible sync issue between the lips and the audio, due to many reasons (sound problems on set, Lucy Gordon having done her scenes in English, many scenes having to be reworked in post, the studio just wanting to get it over with...). The level of bad sync is unheard of for a recent movie with this budget and has to be seen and heard to be believed.
