Nora Jones, NOT a strong actor
I think in more capeable hands this could have been a better film.
shareEasily. She is on screen for almost the whole film. But all she does is look dazed a lot. A great actress performance could have elevated this film because it the other supporting characters were all fairly good. Just look at how "Monster" was elevated from forgettable trash to interesting spectacle merely by Theron's performance.
shareShe did look like a deer caught in headlights for most of the film. However, the blame for this turkey lies primarily with the slow-motion-loving hack director. Looking dazed and having only one facial expression never hurt Keanu Reeves.
shareSo maybe the movie would be better with Keanu playing Elizabeth...
I don't think Norah Jones was that bad. Not quite strong enough to carry the film, but not bad.
