It ruins this movie! Do you Americans notice it? It's horrible, I thought Americans found it difficult doing an English accent, but obviously it works both ways.
I never get in cases like why they don't just tell the actor to use their normal accent: it's not key to the story that he has to be a Yank.
Theres nuttin wrong with 'is accent ya bluddy slaaaag
Y'know lead lined fridges are so durable they can withstand thermo nuclear explosions!?!
Even though I seen this movie a few years back,I really could'nt place were I'd seen him before and thought he WAS an american...I thought he must of been in something like the Band of brothers tv series.Now that i know were i'd seen him(lock stock,snatch,etc)...I say he had an excellent yank accent...he certainly fooled me.So,you be wrong friend,you just to 'picky'and criticising for the sake of criticising!
shareI'm wrong because you think he had a good US accent?? How does that work?
shareSince when was Sthatham's character implied to have been an American?
Haven't you heard? Nobody can have fun at the movies anymore...
According to his fictional character biography,
Evan Funsch is from the Beta Universe, from the mean streets of Beverly Hills. In his universe Beverly Hills is filled with all sorts of criminals, prostitutes, gang bangers, drug dealers, all sorts of ill sh!t, Also America in that universe lost the American Revolution, however it still cost the British so much, that they are relegated to a colony and used it as a continental prison (Sound Familiar). Hence why Funsch has a Austrio-American Accent, because in his universe, America is like our Australia.
And that was Jason Statham's Idea to mess with the geo-political structure of "his" universe abit, however the scene that tells you all this got left on the cutting room floor.
In fact alot of this movie got left on the cutting room floor. That's why its a B-movie now, and it could and should of been so much better.
yeah, it was pretty terrible. I don't know why the other posters didn't notice or care but it was bad.
shareIt sounds like his normal accent. Doesnt sound like hes trying to put on an american accent
I am the darkness that hides in your wardrobe
I agree pddabomb it sound like Jason Statham normal accent

He's attempting, but failing. It's most notable when he puts a hard R on the end of words. Like when he says, "Procedurrre sucks." I only notice that's what he's doing because that's how Spike mimics American accents on Buffy, to hilarious effect.
"Me? No sirrr. I'm just an old friend of Xanderrr's."
Terrrrrrible accent
and even worse actor...OMG I've seen some pretty lame acting but he takes the cake in this movie...his voice is kind stupid sounding, too.
Enrique Sanchez
I don't think it's about him trying to talk with American accent, it's about him not trying to talk with an English accent. Just imagine how he would sound if he lived in US for the rest of his life and he lost most of his English accent then this is how he would sound. He's not trying to do an accent but he can't completely get rid of his English accent.
shareDidn't notice anything wrong with it at all.
shareStatham is my favourite actor and I've seen next to all the films he's been in but his accent in this film was ridiculous. He's British through and through and to here him try and pull of this ridiculous accent ruined his part for me.

He talked like he was trying to pull off a New York accent, but failed. Great actor, horrible accent in this movie.
