Most daring role of any actor/actress since DeNero Raging Bull

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2004)

Charlize Theron suffered through a physical transformation in order to accurately portray the part. Not only did she gain 25 to 30 pounds, her facial make-up turned a beautiful woman into an ugly prostitute. Her physical gestures, the way she moves her head, her language all serve to convince the viewer that she is her character. Oscar winner for sure.
