      That's cool. I'm sure it's at least semi-passable, but I've heard different from many other Brits, and even as an American, it seems highly exaggerated to the point of sounding very off. Not in every scene, but there are some where he just sounds ridiculous. It's specifically his line "bloody wolves chasing me through some blue inferno!" that is the main issue when it comes to his attempt at any sort of a British accent

      I've wondered that myself, as a yank. Australian and British actors are often quite good at nailing the many types of American accents. But that's rarely the case with American actors trying to do Australian or British accents. Gary Oldman and Daniel Day Lewis tend to be able to nail all of the various different types of American accents in the roles they've portrayed.

And his acting in this film was not even bad. It was just the voice and accent, which the producers were too stupid to notice couldn’t properly do a British accent.

      I'm from the US, and it doesn't sound like there's any of the many American accents at all under the surface, it's just that even as an American, I can tell that his attempt at an Engilsh accent is very exaggerated and over done, in a pretty much silly way. Winona did a halfway decent job. I love Keanu, but he really needs the right roles. He's not as flexible as some of the greats, like Gary Oldman. This is one of my favorite horror movies though, so I just overlook it whenever I give it a rewatch.
