I was struck by how extremely similar the last two roles i've seen her in are (Taken (which is now her most seen role and it hasnt even been release in the US yet) and Valentine)
she plays this big super celebrity in both ironically her characters have broken records with their box office / CD sales
She was only in a few scenes in Taken but she was all over Valentine probably had the most screentime in that and she was very good in that.
She is really a better actress than most people give her credit and i hope to see her in more roles.
BTW her role in Valentine may not be just a 1 episode guest stint since there's an onset photo of her from when they were filming episode 7 or 8 and she is listed as a different character so i guess her character probably ends up being another undercover greek goddess or something.

She wada0s very good in "DOA: Dead or Alive" too. She actually looked like she was having fun in the role - not to mention she was sexy and kicked ass!

For some bizarre reason I've gained some weird respect for her.
I'll admit I've only seen her acting in Prison Break and Taken but on both occasions I think she's put in a decent graft.
When she popped up in Prison Break I was "ohhhh christ what's she doing in this?" but she suited the part and I was totally convinced.
Same goes for Taken. Job well done.
I think she should be cautious which jobs she takes and wish her all the best.
For now, I'm pro-Valance.

Shes way too good looking for movies, when you see her on screen she really draws your attention to her.
