You mean, when a movie written in English but set in a place where they should be speaking that country's language has the characters speak English with the accent of that language? I see what you're trying to say, but there's no such thing as having no accent, so what kind of accent should they use, then? If a Japanese-American actor plays a Japanese character in a movie set in Japan, should they say their lines in a Midwestern US accent, so it isn't "foreign"? What about when a New Yorker watches it? What about when a Brit or Aussie watches it?

The movie shouldn't match the audience's language, that's not what I mean. It shouldn't imitate an accent that makes no sense in the context of the movie. That's what I mean by "foreign": It's the accent of a non-native speaker when everyone speaks their native language.

I'm not a native speaker, so I can't actually tell which English accent a USian movie uses unless it's really thick, so I don't know how it works - does every movie have a specific regional accent then? In German there's a generic "non-accented" accent that gets used in the dubs and as the "neutral" language.
