    LOVE the premise. And like Kate Beckinsale so much more for this role than Reese Witherspoon (whom I can never shake free from Legally Blonde). Beckinsale just seems like a much darker character, something this movie seems it'll need.

    Thanks for posting and always broadening my horizons CKL.
