Halle Berry said she has been "fighting to be seen and heard" as she spoke of the importance of her Crime 101 character in today's climate.
The Oscar-winning actor, 59, stars alongside Chris Hemsworth in Bart Layton's crime thriller, which follows an elusive thief (Hemsworth) eyeing his final score, whose path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Berry) who is facing her own crossroads.
When asked what drew her to the role, Berry told The Independent on Wednesday's (28 January) red carpet: "I've been fighting in my personal life to be seen and heard and not marginalised at this time, so I relate [to] it deeply.
"These characters had something social to say that I think is very important, especially right now."
