Theron Proves that She's Got Titanium Acting Chops!
Robert De Niro in "Raging Bull." Halle Berry in "Monster's Ball." Russell Crowe in "The Insider." Chris Cooper in "Adaptation." What do all of these great performers have in common? They did more than just play a role: they literally tranformed themselves. Add Charlize Theron into this elite group of artists.

One would think that Theron took her que from Halle Berry in virtually BECOMING female serial killing prostitute Aileen Wuornos; in any event, she pulled off one of the greatest on-screen performances I have ever seen. Just like Berry, Theron is a model-turned-actress and, just like Berry's outstanding performance in "Monster's Ball," Theron's blisteringly brilliant turn as Wuornos shows that this South African beauty has titanium acting chops.

Did she deserve winning the Best Actress Oscar? Are you kidding me?! That's like asking was Michael Jordan a good basketball player in his day. Theron chewed up every square inch of scenery in that film. Of course she deserved it.

Bravo, Ms. Theron!

Good just not great
Theron's acting is better than the movie itself. The movie is slow at some points, but have some excellent moments. I would've like to see more of the trial, and less of the emotion.

Great Performances in a Depressing Movie...
You don't gain much by watching a film like this, other than the fact you can realize your crappy life isn't really so bad after all. The performance by Charlize Theron is truly one of the best ever on film by an actress. I had know idea she could act until I saw this brutal portrayal of this killer with my own eyes. She deserved her Oscar easily. I also thought Christina Ricci was very good too as Selby, her sidekick and partner. Rent this movie and watch it once. It is well made, but I doubt many can stomach this fairly disturbing film more than a couple of times. And who would want to?
