This was the first time I ever noticed Angelina Jolie, and I was very impressed by her range, portraying Gia with strength, anger and vulnerability. A gorgeous model with faults that made her a tragic human. Brilliant performance. Scott Cohen was seductive, handsome and superbly convincing as ruthless agent Mike Mansfield. Mercedes Ruehl was amazing as Gia's mother. All around a major treat, and a major tear jerker.
