Jurassic Park Rebirth <\/em>does pretty much what fans of the franchise expect, and seem to want: Director Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em><\/a>, The Creator<\/em><\/a>) and original Jurassic Park <\/em>screenwriter David Koepp (Presence<\/em><\/a>) gather up a bunch of characters with varying motivations and throw them into a wilderness setting where they risk getting eaten by dinosaurs. Some die, some survive, but before the final tally is taken, the humans spend a lot of time running, screaming, and looking panicked. All except covert ops agent Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), who smirks and shrugs her way through a lot of the action \u2014 an acting choice that\u2019s drawn a lot of sneering criticism about her \u201cextreme for-the-paycheck energy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or as one critic put it<\/a>, \u201c[Johansson]\u2019s many attempts to appear as if her character is thinking about some devilishly clever plan onscreen only suggest the actress\u2019s fraught mental calculations regarding how much this gig might pay for, say, her home renovations.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that Johansson plays Zora without a lot of the range or nuance she\u2019s brought to movies like Under the Skin<\/em>, Lost in Translation<\/em>, or Vicky Cristina Barcelona<\/em>. When Zora first meets pharma bro Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend), who kicks off the plot by hiring her to run point on his illegal, dangerous trip to dinosaur-occupied equatorial regions, she plays the entire encounter with the patient tolerance of a cool aunt humoring a cosseted young nibling who\u2019s just learned how to tell knock-knock jokes. Her half-amused smirk barely flickers when Martin offers her $10 million for the mission.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

When she helps him recruit paleontologist Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) and her old partner-in-combat Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), she maintains the same Mona Lisa semi-smile the whole time. Even when Zora and Duncan run a pre-arranged gambit to force Martin to double their fee, she never once bothers to pretend she believes Duncan\u2019s doubts and demurrals about the gig are true. Her entire attitude is \u201cYou know we\u2019re scamming you. We know that you know. And it doesn\u2019t matter, because we know you need us and you have infinite funds. You\u2019re going to pay our price, so why should we bother putting actual effort into this con we\u2019re running on you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Johansson\u2019s choices for Zora as a character haven\u2019t landed well with a lot of viewers, who\u2019ve said she \u201cnever shows a hint of human emotion<\/a>,\u201d and that her \u201calmost impressively unemotive<\/a>\u201d performance mean that \u201cabsolutely nothing about [her] says \u201cwarrior,\u201d \u201cveteran,\u201d \u201cleader,\u201d or anything along those lines<\/a>.\u201d A common thread in reviews claims that, \u201cAt no point [\u2026] is she remotely believable as a world-weary, battle-scarred mercenary<\/a> looking to make one last big score.\u201d Others have just complained that she never comes across as committed to the role<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I saw it in a completely different way. From the moment Zora first arrives on screen \u2014 unexpectedly appearing in Martin\u2019s car during a traffic jam, startling the hell out of him and letting the audience know she\u2019s already three steps ahead of him \u2014 she\u2019s channeling an identity that\u2019s familiar from decades of action movies. It\u2019s just a type of identity that women play a lot less often than men. As Zora went into that first salary negotiation with Martin, again looking smug as hell at having anticipated everything he was going to say and do, I thought, \u201cOh wow, she\u2019s doing a Bruce Willis impression.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have any reason to believe that\u2019s literally<\/em> true \u2014\u00a0I\u2019ve been reading up on Johansson\u2019s pre-release interviews, and mostly just finding her talking about her lifelong Jurassic Park fandom<\/a> and how she wanted to avoid seeming \u201cdesperate\u201d for the role when she pitched herself to Steven Spielberg. (Which certainly seems to counter the \u201cin it for the paycheck\u201d accusations.) She\u2019s talked about Zora as \u201cburnt out<\/a>\u201d after a career of traumatic, violent experiences, but I haven\u2019t seen any sign that she modeled the character on any particular past actor or role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, her entire performance in Rebirth<\/em> has extreme Bruce Willis energy. Zora cares about other people enough to fight for their lives, and she gets angry when Martin\u2019s greed, other characters\u2019 poor decisions, or the dinosaurs themselves endanger her charges or her mission. But she doesn\u2019t care about much else \u2014 at least, not in ways she\u2019s willing to let other people see.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an unusual choice for a female lead in an action movie. Sigourney Weaver in 1986\u2019s Aliens <\/em>redefined women in action, and created a new mold where they often tended to be fiercely maternal protector figures<\/a>. As roles changed for women in action movies over the decades that followed, they were most often either coded to imitate the masculine heroes of the \u201980s (big muscles, impossibly high pain tolerance, minimal emotional expression), or presented as kick-ass aspirational figures that a male character could surpass, impress, and possibly win romantically<\/a>. Recent studies showing that women-led movies do better at the box office<\/a> help explain why female action leads are so common in the 2020s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But if you page through any long list of woman-fronted action movies<\/a>, you\u2019ll see a lot of movies with roughly the same lead character: a grim-faced, tougher-than-nails type who probably has a secretly soft heart that emerges in one or two downbeat scenes, but has learned not to show it the rest of the time.<\/p>\n

I can only think of a handful of women in action movies who\u2019ve taken the specific tack Scarlett Johansson takes with Jurassic Park Rebirth<\/em>: \u200b\u200bGina Carano sneering her way through Steven Soderbergh\u2019s excellent, efficient 2011 MMA vehicle Haywire<\/em>, for instance, or Lori Petty in Tank Girl<\/em>, or Geena Davis in The Long Kiss Goodnight<\/em>. Usually, that kind of cocky, too-cool-for-school swagger is reserved for minor characters \u2014\u00a0Jenette Goldstein as Vasquez in Aliens<\/em>, for instance. (And that attitude tends to get punished; arrogant characters in thrillers generall go down early. Rebirth <\/em>has its own example of that dynamic.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

But not in Bruce Willis movies. His entire career was defined by that kind of swagger and an \u201cI\u2019m above all this\u201d smirk. His most common action-movie persona suggested that no matter what he was facing in any given movie \u2014 even when pulling shattered glass out of his lacerated bare feet in Die Hard<\/em> or navigating an agonizing personal history in Looper<\/em> \u2014 he had already been through so much in his lifetime that his latest crisis was just a laugh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a mode more and more male stars in action films embody these days. Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel each have their own signature version of the \u201cI\u2019m cooler than whatever trials or trauma I\u2019m facing\u201d character, for instance. And the popularity of Marvel Studios movies, with their bantering, smirking heroes, has launched a new wave of male action heroes whose characters either sneer at danger to cover up their own vulnerabilities (think Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark), or are puffed-up, self-parodying, and not intended for an audience to take entirely seriously. (Think Chris Hemsworth\u2019s Thor.)<\/p>\n

ScarJo\u2019s portrayal of Zora doesn\u2019t consistently work as well as the best of these characters. Zora\u2019s inevitable downbeat \u201clet\u2019s bare some past traumatic history to show this character\u2019s secret depths\u201d scene feels shallow and rigid, as if Johansson is trying so hard to hang onto the character\u2019s swagger that she can\u2019t let any sincerity creep through. (It doesn\u2019t help that the scene is written as obligatory, halfhearted, and by-the-numbers.) The back half of the movie, which mostly centers on running and gunning as the dinosaurs close in, doesn\u2019t give her much room for nuance or personalized characterization.<\/p>\n

And her whole arc builds toward a moral turning point, where she has to decide whether to turn over Martin\u2019s illegally acquired data to the scientific community for the greater good, sacrificing her $20 million payday. Playing that moment as a \u201cEh, whatev, no big deal\u201d moment is consistent with the character we\u2019ve seen throughout the film, but the performance undermines any sense that the decision has any weight for Zora, which raises the question of why it was ever a debate for her at all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t negate how refreshing the early sequences feel, when Johansson gets the freedom to play around a little with the role, bringing something to it that we\u2019ve rarely seen in her as an actor before. When she works in action movies, she tends to take roles where she\u2019s intense and emotional, pained and under pressure. It would have been easy for her to turn Zora into another take on Black Widow in the Marvel movies, another mama-bear type who protects civilians and her teammates with equal fervor. The lead in Lucy<\/em> gave her more room to play with persona in the early going; starring in Ghost in the Shell <\/em>gave her a lot less. But in both cases, she winds up as the same kind of hard-charging, goal-focused badass.<\/p>\n

In Rebirth<\/em>, she\u2019s playing around with a different kind of persona, one that\u2019s far less familiar either in the action realm or in her personal filmography. The script does her choices in the role no real favors: It doesn\u2019t give Zora much room to develop as a character in ways that would pay off that hipshot smugness, that dismissive attitude, in satisfying emotional ways, or let us peek meaningfully under the character\u2019s trauma-forged surface.<\/p>\n

But in spite of some of the criticisms, it never feels like Johansson is bored, checked out, or just cashing a blockbuster-movie paycheck. She\u2019s taking on an action-movie persona that male stars in similar modes have been experimenting with for decades. You don\u2019t have to love the character, or the performance. But it\u2019s worth recognizing it for the flex it is.<\/p>\n
