You missed my point. I'm not saying that the bad accent causes the
problems, but that if there are bad accents, the movies is such a
disaster that evereything else is messed up, too.

It's Aaron Sorkin's well known machine gun writing style. War stories
are fascinating, and it's equally interesting to see how a war is fought
at the highest levels, when people do nothing but walk around, talk and
plan and spend money. Good time Charlie was (and still is, I guess)
quite a character.

No, don't believe I did. You enjoyed it, which confirms my bias --
coming from anybody but Tom, actor-challenged accentuation may well
play for a lesser role in a second-rate production. Tom, nah. He's
pretty good for the most, (apart from FG*). Been some time since I
watched the documentary, but -seems- singled cocaine charges, whether
or not adjudicated, for intent effectively would have clipped his
wings from further political integrity and a popular command he
carried among voters. He's too hot of a potato head at this stage,
I'd suspect.
