Hollywood Flies for one. Barring a few worthwhile scenes it's a Canadian movie about FBI stuff and crime in LA. The main girl is hot, but her French-Canadian accent destroys her character's supposed latino heritage, it just doesn't work. The acting at the ending is very bad, not believable.
I realize that not all Canadian production companies can score 10's across the board every time, but I know we can do better than this.

These days with half the mainstream USA released films we can play "spot the Australian actor/extra putting on a fake North American accent" as it's often cheaper to produce the movie here.
One notable exception was some meteor disaster movie from about 10 years ago; the Australian actor Bill White played the president of the USA, complete with True Blue ocker Aussie accent.
