10. Ray Winstone's TERRIBLE Russian Accent

While it's disappointing that Dreykov is effectively hidden in the shadows until the third act of the movie, fans might be a little less bothered by that once the guy actually starts speaking.

As great an actor as Ray Winstone is, the guy can't do a Russian accent to save his life, his distinctive natural Cockney twang constantly coming to the surface and interrupting what is, frankly, a hammy and unconvincing attempt at sounding like a Russian.

Though Dreykov mercifully doesn't yammer on at length, it's still tough to concentrate on the content of what he's saying when Winstone's accent is so shamelessly terrible.
