If the role had been cast with an actress resembling a young Jane March, still 19 from her role in L'amant (The Lover) (1992), the dynamic would have been entirely different. She has a look that women can admire without feeling threatened. Young (32) but not so young that a romance with Keanu Reeves (53) seems scandalous. Feminine, but not voluptuous or statuesque. She's attractive in a girl-next-door sort of way, not like a fashion model or femme fatale. Ularu is more of a chickflick heroine than a Bond girl. The romantic interest is played by Ana Ularu, who played the ruthless and remorseless assassin in Inferno (2016).

Siberia (2018), starring Keanu Reeves, has several strong elements, but also several significant problems.
