What was the purpose of Eva Longoria's character?


She had barely any dialog, and no importance to the plot. Was she only there to draw young teenage boys?

Eva is ripe eye candy, Kim is a bit superannuated to be a hottie. The usual American drivel, this is typical 2nd rate hollywood crap served up with a side dish of patriotism. nothing new here.

If she wasn't there, and wasn't replaced by another character, Garrison wouldn't have a sympathetic agent to deal with, and Breckinridge would spend the time talking to himself. She is a foil for both characters, and the fact that she is a rookie means that things need to be explained to her, which helps exposition.
