I hate Charlize Theron-type moments. Beautiful actresses that play uglies: it's like DeNiro putting on 60-lbs. for a role. Who cares? It's the acting that matters and it was a one-note performance.
Second, a major flaw, was the one-sided characterization of a complex character, showing her to be nothing but a non-stop drug-taking-machine.
Lives seldom are this one-dimensional, even for the most serious drug abuser.
The film was almost nihilistic and had nary a surprise, a novel thought throughout its 2-hours.

One dimensional? Man... sometimes you are confounding - sjb 08:18:46 02/15/08 (0)
or you simply reject things too quickly and then don't truly pay attention. It certainly wasn't my favorite movie for the year... probably not even top 5 but her portrayal was anything but one dimensional.
