Rachel Weisz kicks off this week's inaugural Femme Fridays, a weekly post dedicated to some amazing women in film and TV. Ms. Weisz, who won the 2006 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in The Constant Gardener, stars in The Whistleblower, a thriller based on real events of an American policewoman who exposes U.S. military contractors involvement in a human trafficking network in post-conflict Bosnia. There's something about her understated poise and command on screen that I find very appealing. Now officially Mrs. James Bond (having recently gotten hitched to Daniel Craig), she's got exceptional talent, beauty and the apparent leeway to play substantive, take-no-bullshit female characters. You go, girl lady.
