The Professional! Awesome movie.

(Sorry, I don't have much else of value to contribute at the moment.)

Its weird having my first exposure to her be in "The Phantom Menace" and have that part completely color my judgment of her for the next decade. Then to see her when she was this young and was that good! Wow. It really gave me a whole new perspective just in time to see her in "Thor", were she brings so much to the part that I'm guessing wasn't on the page.

No worries Shez. I am having the same kind of week.

It's unfortunate, Erik, that Phantom was your first exposure to her. It's her worst movie role ever. I loved her in Thor and especially Black Swan. She is elegant and has been since her role in the Professional - one of the great first roles in movie history.

If you were to tell be that her character in the Star Wars prequels was supposed to be a sex crazed xenophobe who puts on a front of being an idealized clean as snow political figure, than I'd say it her best role ever. Instead her characterization is just the result poor writing and zero directing.
