Like what actress can do stunts and pull off these incredible emotional acrobatics and do it so effortlessly in an accent that’s not even theirs? Like, come on. And she, as an actress, is this rare combination of dramatically skilful, comedically brilliant and an action hero who can run like Tom Cruise. This character is a heroine for the ages.
