Well, actually, in American movies they goes to hypertrophy side - actual Russian very rarely speak in such thick roaring accents.
Our usual problem is different: it's extra sounds - like "g" in "-ing", "k" in "knight", and so on.
We tends to talk too hard, comparing to Englishmen, but to real "Russian" accent you need German Schwarzenegger.
