She’s only 20 years old, but shes delivered plenty of memorable performances.
She taps into something genuine and believable, and her chemistry with Garner is the movie’s best attribute.
Ortega’s character inKiller Queenis the proto-final girl role.

Her performance is relatively strong, particularly when you consider the sheer amount of stunts and pyrotechnics on display.
(It is, after all, a film byMcG.)
For whateverAmerican Carnagemight lack in subtlety, it more than makes up for in its retro go-for-brokeness.

Despite its regrettable title,Scream(why not5cream??)
ranks solidly as the third-place holder forthe best of the franchise.
Ortega’s inclusion in the film is itself a piece of meta-winking.

As the initially sheepish Lorraine, Ortega does some of her most subtle work here.
In many ways,Tim Burton’sWednesdaywas the perfect vehicle for Ortega when she landed the role.
ThatThe Falloutas a whole matches the quality of Ortega’s work is a tremendous bonus.

Park’s film is restrained and sensitive without pulling punches.
