Absolutely terrible actress


Way too over dramatic. You can see where she's trying, and I guess you can't fault her for that. It's not like she's lazy. She does want to be a good actress not just a pretty movie star, but she just fails miserably. I.e. in The Town when she met Jem at the cafe, she was trying so hard to let the audience know she has no idea who both of them really are. Same with telling Doug about the robbery. Don't get me started on her over-melodramatic scenes when she finally found out who Doug really was. I really hope her career dwindles to the point where she can only get work in TV. (I don't watch a whole lot of TV dramas)

Can't agree. She's not great in everything and really is a actress who's only as great as the material.

I thought she was great in The Prestige, Starter for 10, Vicky Christina Barcelona, The Gift, Christine, Professor Marston and The Wonder Woman. She hasn't done anything in recent times that's been great.

I don't think she's ever hit the form of her early run of films say from 2006-2008 for me.
