*Spoiler alert* it's an ukranian movie, in russian, but "Big Brother" speaks english, with an american accent.
And judging from the trailer, I doubt Putin is happy about it.
The thing about English English vs American English is that in the Americas we tend to pronounce the consonants more sharply, and in English English they tend to pronounce the vowels more sharply. It's almost like in American English the mouth is more closed and in English English the mouth is more opened.
