Her perfomance in that movie was underrated, as was the movie itself. The first time I saw it, it seemed kinda racist and exploitative.

I mean, I find her incredibly charming in interviews, and she did serve a few years in the military in Israel after winning Miss Israel as a teenager, so she has kind of a “is gorgeous but can probably kill you in a split second” vibe going on...but aside from that she doesn’t, as far as I know, have anything…
