I am so sick of Brits with terrible American accents!


I started to watch this but was too put off by Worthington's terrible accent. It's bad American. Just stop it, Hollywood! I know these actors are well trained and easy to work with. But their accents ruin movies! Just stop it!

The Brits have to put up with it far more, cause Hollywood thinks Americans can do the accents. Like in oceans 11 and 12 when don cheadle does a pathetic cockney accent because Hollywood refused to hire a real cockney.

I usually don't notice when nonAmericans screw up accents but I noticed it a number of times here especially when he was yelling. I guess it's harder to do the correct accent when screaming. Of course, that doesn't really bother me but I did notice it here.

What is important is consistency. Unless it is unbelievably bad you notice it if they don't always sound the same.

British actors are embarrassing themselves all the time.
