I actually agree with this comment. I love her overall..but yesterday when i saw her in Jason Bourne...her accent was all over the place. And u could actually HEAR her swedish accent at times. She does better with the british accent. Should be interesting to hear her voice in light between the oceans

I did not even realize that she was trying to do an American accent. I was wondering why they have a foreign person so high in the CIA.

And she looks like a child

Was she even trying to do an American accent? I figured perhaps her character wasn't born in America so she could have a bit of a mixed accent.

That's why I can't stand the hyoe she gets. He's praise as one of the best actresses right now but can do an American accent, defeats the purpose of being a good actress when you can't act American.

Don't get hurt kid. I'm not your daddy, I'll beat you senseless.

Your English is crap and yet you are criticizing her American accent. Also, many American actors can't act anything outside of American. Get over yourself.

Being a good actor does not signify putting on an accent. That's a whole other thing and there are actors who can't do it. From Sean Connery to Michael Caine to Omar Sharif to Javier Bardem and to Alicia Vikander. All great actors, all foreign. It's as simple as that. Woody Harrelson, McCounaghey, Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson and Christopher Walken are all American and they never changed their accent.
