Jessica Biel Does Dowdy in 'The Tall Man'

There's a long history of glamorous Hollywood actresses doing the dowdy road for their roles.  When I was younger, my most favorite actress then, Michelle Pfeiffer, who is just exquisitely beautiful, would take dowdy roles in movies like Frankie and Johnny, which would totally hide how beautiful she was.  Charlize Theron went the butch route and won herself an Oscar in Monster.  

Now, Jessica Biel, who looks supermodel hot in these photos chose to look dowdy in this movie starring her, The Tall Man and well, her looking unmade up is not really the surprise here, it's that, she can actually act!  This movie is packaged as a horror movie but it does have some action sequences and Jessica is good in all of them.  Even when she has to look stoic and sad and dignified (because she has to hide a secret) - she does all of it with aplomb!  An actress with supermodel looks who can act!  Cool!!
