I thought Travolta and Cage were kind of miscast in this movie and would have been better off if they had switched roles.

I have to suspect her career in film mirrors this closely.

In one of the features on the dvd, Ed Harris said they specifically picked Renee for that role because they wanted the character to come off as sweet and innocent even though she was clearly something else. The character wasn't so much "bad" as she was willing to do anything to survive.

I mean, yeah, it was hard to believe that Bruce Wayne would be so sprung over Maggie but she was very convincing as the DA. She atleast looks like a grown up whereas Katie Holmes still looks like she walked off the set of Dawson's Creek.

They should have cast Tori Spelling.

David Arquette in THE GREY ZONE
Ricky Gervais in STARDUST
the whole cast of IN THE NAME OF THE KING: A GUNGEON SIEGE TALE
I would say that Stuart Townsend is the most annoying actor in every single movie he's in.

Any 20 something playing a homicide detective or more than one attractive women/girl playing a cop. The only female cops I've seen are "Bull Dykes".
