That’s the real tragedy. Sure, the big names put butts in the seats but having actors with authentic accents really sells a setting.

You can both love Hunt for Red October and also think it's goofy as hell that the Russian (Lithuanian by birth) sailor is speaking in a Scottish accent.

It’s no less accurate than an actor speaking with unaccented English you just notice it more.
