Knightley has long impressed Hollywood, butBlack Dovesshows she has even more to offer.

In fact, this dark, edgy role seems strangely well-suited to the actress.

In later movies, she even takes on the role of a pirate.

In this way,Pirates of the Carribeanset Knightley up to be a convincing spy inBlack Doves.

Thus,Black Dovesis easily recognizable as a change for the actress.

Within Knightley’s resume, only a few action movies actually seem relevant.

AlthoughKing Arthur’sGuinevere is surprisingly skilled with a sword, she is far from the scariest soldier on the field.

InJack Ryan,Knightley plays a medical student.
