Sharlto Copley's character Kruger is clearly South African, which is obvious from his accent, the various slang he uses, and several images of the South African flag on his ship and clothing. The name Kruger is significant in South African history and culture: Paul Kruger (Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger) was a four-term State President of the South African Republic in the late 1800s. The Krugerrand is a 1 troy ounce South African gold coin; it is named for Paul Kruger and for the rand, the official South African unit of currency. See more »

Well, as a die hard Matt Damon fans, I'm just so gonna watch this movie and I did. Yeap and I will always said his acting just won't fail me and let me down.
Lets talk about the movie shall we ? Firstly BRILLIANT GRAPHICS, thanks to modern technology, CG looks real enough, hardly notice that it had been polished by after effects. Visually Enjoyed watching the movie. Actually I see shadow of District 9 throughout the show, is it maybe coz of Sharlto Copley ? Well, you judge that yourself.
Talking about casting, I would say all the Actor/Actress were put to the right place, the acting was real, professional, I am so into the movie and I am so enjoyed of the performances of they.
Everything is best and sets, at least for me. Just a little bit disappointed of the story line, it's just so predictable and simple, I was hoping to get a little bit more from this Movie. But overall still a nice show to watch.
So I am voting a 7 out of 10 rating.
You definitely going to watch this, whether you're a die hard fans of Matt Damon or not.
