First, it goes without saying that Halle Berry should be in a better movie than *Kidnap* right now -- true, I have not technically seen *Kidnap*, but suffice to say, it does not look like a prestige drama as much as a Lifetime-version of *Taken*, but with a mom. But, as we all know, Movie Hollywood generally isn't that interested in giving good parts to women over 40 (which Halle herself[ discussed in this interview with *The Guardian* last year](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/feb/26/halle-berry-oscar-winner-interview?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)), and actors like to work. She's got a film coming out with Daniel Graig about the weeks prior to the Rodney King riots and she's also in the new *Kingsman* movie, so I think she's doing okay, but, you know: I want the best for Halle Berry, and I wish she weren't in so many movies where she's screaming on the phone about a missing child. HAVING SAID THAT, I want to congratulate her for treating all the premieres for this movie like a vaguely smart-casual dinner with a friend. She looks casual, but good enough that she would be comfortable running into an ex at any moment. Like, she looks *good*, but also like this isn't even the most interesting thing she's done all week. Like, she *cares* but she doesn't care *too much.* Like, yes, she's *in* this movie and she's a professional, but also now she has Colin Firth's cell so who cares about any of you.
