She is too. I should have known, but the movie had been put out of my mind.
While we're on the subject, I think it's about high time I give Saffron Burrows her due. She's good looking, has talent, and is a better actor than some of the sorry excuses out there at the moment. Sometimes she comes off as a bit wooden, but I'd chalk that up to her ascent, and really playing Angel totally out of character is her only crime. (And we could probably blame that on Chris Roberts). If she was looking for ideas for other roles, I have three in mind.
1. A female Drill Instructor, maybe even as part of the Navy SEALS Hell Week. Demi Moor played a woman going through SEAL training, and Burrows' portrayal of Angel would fit well as a DI who went back to the good old days when the training was on the verge of brutality.
2. A Bond girl. She has the looks that could fill the role, the dynamic ability seen in such characters as Electra King, and more acting talent than half of the Bond girls.
3. A femme fatale from hell. Extra points for being man hating. Yeah, sure, it's been done a hundred times before, but Burrows has shown that she could be cold enough to put her talent to very bad and evil use.
