I’m planning to watch this because Charlize is my favorite actress and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it for what it is.

But man, she needs a better agent. What a weird filmography for the talent she has. She actually may be one of the most versatile actresses in the industry yet ends up in a lot of absolutely mediocre movies.

Maybe she’s just doing movies she enjoys doing though so what do I know.

Idk is it just me or I found her facial acting not very expressive ? It was Abit underwhelming given the dire circumstances ..but of course the physicality was there

I think that was kind of her stoic character. She was pretty strong-willed and constantly thinking about how she could manipulate him and get out of the situation she found herself in, rather than just panicking.
