Fan Casting Frizzy in The Safdie Brothers' 48 Hrs.

The Walden Hotel's bored desk clerk, Frizzy is an interloper from a softer movie—cheerfully oblivious, reading a lurid paperback, checking in psychopaths without a second thought. Sunlit naivete that makes her brutal, casual beating by Ganz feel like a violation of genre expectations. She is collateral damage, and the film does not confirm whether she survives.
