Jill Hennessey


A complete light weight. Fine on Law and Order but pointless in this film. This movie presents a lot of interesting information and Brian Cox as Goring is convincing.

Late response but I have to disagree. I don't know the actress well from her other work but I thought her performance was on a par with the male leads. She looked right and held her own as a woman in a man's world. Just because she earned her fame from a popular TV drama doesn't mean that she should lack the necessary dramatic range to convince in her role in this very serious subject. Alec Baldwin is better known to me as a comic actor, while Christopher Plummer has spent his latter years working in romantic comedies; it doesn't dilute their ability to be taken seriously in this film, so neither should Jill Hennessey

Reephaman, I agree. I thought she was very convincing in that part. Unfortunately I've never seen her in any other roles.
