Minor props to Edgar Wright for casting pretty much all Americans in Running Man

Finished watching Edgar Wright's Running Man. Found it a decent 6/10, falls apart in the third act but still a pretty entertaining movie. Here's the thing, I'm really sensitive to accents in movies, and very often when dialogue feels clunky or unnatural, I look up the actor and sure enough it's another Brit or Aussie playing American, struggling with the intonations and their Rs. In Running Man though, one thing that stood is that the film had a little more... pep in its step in the dialogue delivery. The satire of American society felt really pointed and authentic as a result. Going through the cast afterwards, I was impressed that despite filming in the UK, nearly the entire cast with speaking roles was Americans or Canadians: Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, William H. Macy, Jayme Lawson, Katy O'Brian, Karl Glusman, Martin Herlihy, Sean Hayes, David Zayas Only exceptions are Emilia Jones and Daniel Ezra but they were both good. This isn't meant to be xenophobic or protectionist, I'm not even American. But I find it cool Wright went the extra mile for this. It would have been easy to go with some ex-Dr. Who BBC day players for most of the below the line actors, but Wright made the effort to bring the actors over who were the best for the part.
