Denise Richards has been widely-criticized as being too young for her role as Dr. Christmas Jones. However, Roger Ebert praised her in his review of this film and called both Richards and Sophie Marceau "first rate." Ebert clearly recognized that Dr. Christmas Jones was meant to be a young, twenty something, snarky Generation X with attitude American sidekick to contrast sharply against Elektra's cooler and more mysterious European enigma. And at the age of 28 during filming, Richards was the right age for a rising nuclear physicist toiling in a pay-your-dues job dismantling abandoned nukes and decommissioning mothballed test sites in the middle of Kazakhstan. Richards plays the role just fine in this context.
