populated with WWII-era Nazis speaking with British accents, or supposed Cold War Russian baddies with the same accent. For a truly authentic experience, the actors in this movie should all be speaking in late 18th/early 19th century French with subtitles throughout the picture. And, since we know how most Americans feel about subtitles, that wasn't going to happen.

I can suspend belief regarding speech if the movie is of quality otherwise. I hope to find out next week when a buddy and I go to see it.
