Is it me or is this the same role she's been playing for years on in?
I don't mean the actual character, but the same mannerisms and acting she's done in previous years.
I almost feel like she's a 1-trick pony and isn't being helped by the roles she's taking up, barring the RED movies.
She was just right for this role, so what exactly is the issue? Was she good in the other ones?
shareWell it is an interesting point you make. And truthfully there is a certain similarity about her acting in various roles. So I though a bit about other actors who have been held in high regard over the years. People like John Wayne, Marlon Brando, Cary Grant, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks, Jimmy Stewart, Morgan Freeman, Audrey Hepburn, Jodie Foster, Diane Keaton, Judi Dench, Julie Andrews to cite a few. And when I think about their roles I have seen there is also a certain sameness about their acting style.
So I guess that isn't necessarily bad because they are generally effective. The real test is if we begin to think less of the actor and more of the character as the movie progresses. If we do then their acting is effective.
There seem to be just a very few actors who can show lots of diversity, actors like Daniel Day Lewis, Meryl Streep, Charlize Theron, Hilary Swank, Marion Cotillard, Dustin Hoffman, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman to name a few.

Make a choice, to take a chance, to make a difference.
Even if she's a "1-trick pony", as you say, that's fine with me! She still does a great job in the movies she's in! That's all that really matters to me. I don't need her to be a woman with a hundred different personalities and mannerisms.
shareLook, I kind of have to agree. I tend to think she's a little...limited...
What she does, she does well enough, but she ain't no Dench or Streep.
Do the P-I-G-E-O-N
I completely disagree. I have seen in many and different roles and have not observed any similar mannerisms and acting. She is an excellent actress. She is very versatile.
