Casting of 6?

6 is portrayed in the book as this driven, intense little person. I always saw Ellen Page playing her. Amber Heard comes off as being made out of plastic.

totally agreed. I'm disappointed with the casting of this film pretty much all the way around.

Especially since Sneaky Pete is SUPPOSED to be Japanese...

Seriously, Amber Heard comes off as being plastic? The chick is a natural beauty and a talented actress, what gives with the hate?

She's just not 6. A perfect, flawless, bland "10", maybe, but not 6.

I saw "The Playboy Club" this evening and my opinion is only reinforced.

When it came to 6's beauty, I always pictured her to be Liv Tyer-esque. Thats just me.

I thought Amber was the best part of the whole film. A very tough and beguiling character.

I agree, Amber was the best in the movie

Totally agree, to begin with 6 is nota blonde. For me the perfect cast is Michelle Trachtenberg.

Hearing all these different conceptions of who ought to have been cast is motivating me to read the book!

Just watched this and it has expanded my respect for Amber Heard. She can do comedy, and action, and intelligent. “Dying is easy. Comedy, that’s hard.” Stupid people CANNOT play smart, period, exclamation point. Action demands fitness, coordination and what the Japanese call Zanshin, the obvious ability to dominate with your mind alone. Kristin Stewart lacks is, Jennifer Hasbeen lacks it, Dauntless chick lacks it, Black Widow wannabe lacks it, Heather has it; not as much as Michelle Yeoh or Gina Carano, but she has it.

Oscar? No. Movie star? Yeah, I think so.
