I agree, Charlize Theron was very good indeed in The Devil’s Advocate.

Left to her own devices in big, scary Manhattan, a neglected Theron begins to succumb to demonic visions. As her character spirals into madness and desperation, the actress conjures a tempest of raw emotion completely out of sync with the otherwise tongue-in-cheek nature of the proceedings

She redeemed the movie for me and made me watch parts of it twice (uh, specifically, the parts with her in it). I’d already seen her in 2 Days in the Valley, but at the time — because I was younger and shallower — I wrote her off as too pretty to be serious. (Yeah, that’s the kind of stupid shit I thought then).

Anyway, she was almost unrecognizable between the two films. 2 Days in the Valley:
