What's all the fuss about Keira Knightley?

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2003)

Nice Breezy summer movie with plenty of swash and buckle but the most entertaining part for me was witnessing Keira Knightley's ridiculous pout! Not since Mick Jagger in 'Performance' have I seen such lip action. She was ok playing a Brit girl her own age in 'Bend it like Beckham', but in a more sweeping cinematic environment she lacks charisma...Cate Blanchett she is not. Her co-star in 'Bend It' Parminder K.Nagra is much the more accomplished actress and her star will shine brighter. Still all is not lost, Miss Knightley could land plenty of roles as Liz Hurley's younger sister! As for Depp...brilliant.
