I really appreciate that Russians in this film...


...didn't talk to each other in english with russian accents. I always hate the clichéd accents of foreigners in American movies.

Of course, they did it the most elegant way in "Red October", to start with russian subtitled dialogues and then elegantly switch to english. But nobody else can copy this now.

The lack of efforts to not use American accents for Russian characters was immediately off putting.
Zero authenticity.

I agree, but to hear the opening words after captions are all indicating Russian just smacks of cultural laziness.

Let's leave it at that.
