I've yet to see the first one, but I remember all too well Devin's concerns about Mr Sharlto. Essentially he said that he was not an actor, and the film's producers only realized that once he was on set and fa;ed to act convincingly
I'm not sure if Devin was being "catty" about it or not, or just passing on what information he could without burning his source. It's possible Devin's anecdote was accurate, and Sharlto simply improved the more time he was on set and the deeper into the shoot he got
Either way, I've heard good things about "A Team" (Which I delight in reading as "a team"), and I'm pretty excited to see it once the DVD hits RED BOX
