Nikita is good..
However, I am currently watching Báthory, a film made in 2008 but released in 2010 that stars Anna Friel as Elizabeth Báthory. For those who don't know, Elizabeth Báthory is a woman who has the dubious honour of being the world's most prolific mass murderer. She is in the Guinness book of records for killing 650 young women during her lifetime, as she believed bathing in their blood would keep her young.

I'll say one thing for Anna. She's certainly not followed the normal career path of an actor or actress leaving a soap (which seems to be to star in a couple of high budget dramas for ITV or BBC and then vanish, possibly on to Sky 1). She's consistently tried different things, both in film and on TV, even sending herself up on Come Fly With Me.
