She was great at the acting, but her American accent was just enough off to be noticeable , and that bothered me. Why didn't they get a real American to play the part instead of trying to copy the accent?-but they are always doing things like that in filmdom-[ Americans putting on fake British accents, etc-it usually doesn't work].
shareI know what u mean, altho her american accent was better than most english people tryna do american accents. English Men in particular cannot do American accents. Jude Law, Ewan Mcgreggor, Daniel Craig. Decent actors, bad american accents.
The women can do it better, like kate Winslet, or cate blanchett (well she can do any accent)

When I first saw Emily Watson in Red Dragon I had no idea who she was and just assumed that she was American, so I guess I didn't notice any peculiarities in her accent. I want to see this movie simply because I like her now.

I thought Emily Watson was superb in this movie along with her American accent. She sounded like she was from the East Coast. I hear people talk like her all time, and especially from the Philadelphia area.

shadycady I am from the Philadelphia area and live an hour north of the area now. It is true there is a distinctive accent, sort of British but with a strongly-pronounced "R".

Hi. I was born and raised in Willingboro New Jersey. I can definitely hear the accent from the area, now that I have lived in N.C. for over 20 years.

Emily was superb, quite sexy in some scenes and really brings off the spirit of the character for me, as she's sympathetic Grant must have loved the real life version too
shareBlanchett is Australian, excuse me! The british accent is fake, too. :-)

fair enough for daniel and ewan, but jude law is one of the best english actors when it comes to american accents.
he was spot on in both "cold mountain" and "the talented mr ripley". most actors fail miserably at southern american accents, but he nailed it, and his accent in "the talented mr ripley" was a difficult one because he played a man who hadn't lived in america for several years.

Actually, thats true, his accent was perfect inn Mr Ripley

Christian Bale does a respectable American accent. It would have been difficult to pull off American Psycho if he didn't.
