Emily Mortimer


Was absolutely terrible in this. Not that she's a world class talent, but she looked confused, tired, and totally disinterested the whole time.. The whole movie she had the face of an alone drunk woman in a bar, after she had just lost her job..

Agreed. But in all fairness, every other character was so 1-dimensional that she wasn't much of an anomaly.

Especially the kid's dad, I didn't see him do Jack $h!t.

Her Russian was on point though which I think was the main reason for her character.

reply

That wasn't really Russian, though, was it? Sounded like a made up gibberish language for this movie where every word in every sentence is different. She didn't really have any point in this movie and they could've just had one of the soldiers speak that gibberish language.

Emily Mortimer there so they had a woman in the film that could babysit the info delivery system (i.e. Children) and highlight the stakes (i.e. Even little Moldovan Johnny gets waxed, so these spectrals are REALLY bad...)

Or there so the FemiNazis wouldn't whine and weep about "yet another male only film, Oh Noes".

reply

Oh, I realize she was only there to fill that artificial female quota, but it is pathetic that the only thing they could come up for her was her ability to speak that pathetic sounding gibberish language.

reply

She even had the obligatory "arse gun" that never got touched. Cute arse though.

But you're right - they could have integrated her with the story a bit more, she felt like an afterthought.

Eye candy, maybe.

Still, I enjoyed the film... it was pretty decent for what it was.

reply

That "gibberish" language, is actually Slovenian! You can hear the little girl say "Slovenca sva", which means "we are from Slovenia" I speak Slovenian, she didn`t speak it perfect, but the little girl DID speak it almost perfect!

reply

Yeah I was surprised to see her in this actually.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!
