She's usually a great actress but I found her terribly bland in BLOOD DIAMOND.How come?I think she delivered a better performance the same year in LITTLE CHILDREN.

She's bland in a lot of films. What's new?
shareI was just going to post that I felt like she was miscast. The role of Maddy Bowen was a woman whose very nice nature helped her in intense socio-political climates. (Lots of thrill-filled occupations, I've noticed, have people who are very nice and have more confidence than most to go into something really heavy, potentially dangerous. Most professional animal trainers--I'm not talking about dog trainers, but whales and other big game--I've met/come across fit this mold, and I imagine journalists like Maddy would be similar.)
Bottom line? I don't think she was nice enough. In many instances, I felt like Connelly was trying to be nice, when she really wanted to scream at Danny. I particularly don't like her delivery of the "It's all I can f-cking do!" monologue.
How's your head, David?

I haven't seen little children so I'll stay away from a comparison. I thought she was great in this film and the scene in that room -- when Leo starts to pill the beans -- was fairly convincing to me. I'm not a film expert nor am I an actor expert but I thought she played the role great, and I also think she looked so sexy in this movie. Nothing better than a fine woman getting upset, lol. But seriously, I thought she was great as was pretty much everything and everyone in this movie, imo.
share^^^ She is beautifully sexy in many films, but I agree she looked great here.

I thought she did a perfectly fine job in this movie.
