The actor's playing the Russians were absolutely laughable - my wife sat there and just about sprayed the screen with coffee. The accents and pronunciations were THAT bad (especially the KGB chief - sounded more Albanian than even remotely Russian. The operative himself was at least almost understandable - my wife had to read the English subs to understand what they meant!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Hollywood pidgin used instead of actual foreign languages has a long tradition and should be a comedic genre in its own right. Sure makes for some entertaining viewing
