Male actor who's the equivalent of Angelina Jolie

"Gia", "Playing by Heart", "Changeling", "A Mighty Heart"?

I don't know that I'd consider her like Charles Bronson exactly, but I can see that better than the DiCaprio and Pitt comparisons, because it does seem like most of her famous roles are where she's played in action films or quasi-villain. To be fair though, even with her the action/villain roles that I've seen her in like Maleficent and Mrs. Smith, she had moments where she was emotionally vulnerable. 

In a broad sense, I see the similarities to DiCaprio and Pitt, but I feel that they've been much more calculated with their filmographies, and imo always put in the work. Not that they don't have other priorities like DiCaprio with his environmental work and family and humanitarian work being a big priority for Pitt, but I get the sense especially after her Oscar win that she's okay with just coasting at times, caring more about getting money to fund other things. There's nothing wrong with that, but I guess she's somewhat like Sandler or Stallone to me in the recent thread about getting annoyed with actors who just do crap. 

Also unlike DiCaprio and Pitt, she won an Oscar very early on in her career, and while I know she doesn't have the best relationship with her father, I do think that being related to him helped open doors for her unlike DiCaprio and Pitt. I know DiCaprio started at a very early age, and was one of the few child stars that was able to really transition into a highly successful working actor as an adult, and Pitt struggled early on before his breakthrough in Thelma and Louise. Like I remember he told an anecdote once about how Donovan Leitch Jr. was being promoted as the next big thing when they worked on Cutting Class together, and 

Anyway I think she can be a good actress; although, she's never been one of my favorites. 


The movie is a little predictable, but it's cute, imo, and she's really great in it.
