She just was not convincing as a pro AT ALL!

Who should they have picked, Juliette Lewis? I personally would rather watch an attractive woman in a movie.

Right. No attractive woman has ever been a prostitute...

She was great in this movie. The movie itself is not really that good. And I didn't think Nic Cage deserved an Oscar win for this. I don't believe that she was even nominated even though she gave a better performance.
