7. Lost Girls and Love Hotels

Director: William Olsen

A little preoccupied with trying to appear existential and sensual. Lost Girls and Love Hotels is a 2020 erotic drama that isn’t as smart or quirky as it thinks it is. however, That’s an example of some of the other films that rank a bit higher on this list: Daddario is ready for bigger things. While she’s found fortune in girl-next-door-type roles, rom-coms and the occasional Final Girl, this sex drama about a woman aimlessly spending her nights in Tokyo’s nightlife in search of love is at her most physically and emotionally.

6. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Director: Chris Columbus

More successful than many YA blockbusters but not as big Harry Potter Gold TwilightFirst quality Percy Jackson The movie falls into a similar category: better than many, but not as good as the best. The first of two films based on Rick Riordan’s series of books (so far, now that Disney owns the rights), moves at such a fast pace that it sacrifices a lot of character development, but when it does it does. This family-friendly adventure in Greek mythology is fast-paced and fun with some adventure and a little camp. (See Uma Thurmanof Medusa). Daddario is like the “Hermione” of the group as Athena’s daughter, Annabeth, who trades her Harry Potter-comparable intellectual prowess for combat prowess. An early, entertaining role for Daddario that is neither his best movie nor his best blockbuster, but She delivered more than enough to solidify her soon-to-be star status In a series that probably has a stronger cinematic outing.

4. Lost transmission

Director: Catherine O’Brien

very like Lost Girls and Love Hotels, this indie drama with Daddario flew under the radar in 2020 and is also an unfinished drama. and yet, This is an even more attractive watch thanks to the outstanding leading function of the Juno Temple As a songwriter living in California and Simon Pegg As his friend with relapsing schizophrenia. While not as big a role as those two, Daddario still gets to flex into the series a bit more than he has in the past. Katy Perry-esque pop star, a diva named Dana Lee, who serves as a potential gateway to the upper echelons of the music industry that Temple’s character must contend with while trying to get Pag’s character the help she needs. Daddario’s role utilizes both her beauty and likable seduction, while at the same time making her room a bit of an ass, b.Others play roles she previously fit into while simultaneously subverting them. An incomplete film with a great acting trio, It’s further proof that Daddario is ready for some of those meteoric roles.
