From Eye Candy to Serious Actress

Leaving behind any trace of her former eye-candy image, Jessica Biel delivers the performance of her career in The Tall Man. Pay attention, filmmakers, this gal can act! And she picked a gem of a thriller to showcase her acting chops -- one with a foreboding atmosphere, lots of suspense, and intriguing plot twists that keep us guessing about what’s happening to the children of a small mining town in the depths of economic ruin. Although I’ve usually enjoyed watching Biel in such movies as The Illusionist, Next and Easy Virtue, she hasn’t been on my acting A-list -- but The Tall Man definitely earns her a place there now!
