I'm sure a bunch of Englishmen, a Swede, an Irish woman, another english woman and a bunch of token character actors from Game of Thrones could've totally all matched Russian accents in a sensible manner and emoted with the same intensity that they did in their native tongues.
They should've absolutely had them all sounding like Sam Neil in Hunt for Red October. When he staggered through "I would liked to have seen Montana" in his dying breaths, it brought a tear to my eye.
Even John Malkovich's worst corny Russian accent on Rounders would have been just fine. Sometimes I'd hear them talk and have to remind myself it was USSR/Ukrainian/Belarusian people [Reply]
I didn't mind the lack of accents. The way they did it actually worked. It was like the 13th Warrior without using the montage where they sit around the fire and he learns the language over time. [Reply]

This is incorrect.
Like really really incorrect. This isn't a bad take. It isn't "just...like...your opinion man..." It isn't subject to reasonable minds disagreeing.
I thought the HBO series did an excellent job showing how heroic the Russian people were. I don't think any other country could have pulled the cleanup off. (Well, maybe China or Japan) [Reply]

I thought the same. They portrayed all of the responders and liquidators as quite heroic of putting the greater good above everything. [Reply]
