Eiza Gonzalez’s 10 Best Movies And TV Shows

Eiza González
got her start in her native Mexico, but her best movies and TV shows prove she is now a globe-trotting star. González began her career in 2007 in Mexico as a teenager with telenovelas aimed at teens before branching out into music and movies. She was a fixture of kids’ and teen award shows in Mexico during the late 2000s as a result, picking up awards from the Mexican and Argentinian Kids’ Choice Awards as well as from People En Español.

Her big break for a wider international audience would not come until 2017 with Baby Driver. Since then, she has proven herself as a force on screen, mostly in action movies. While she is incredibly fun to watch in action roles, she has also more than proven her abilities in dramas as well. Her best movies and TV shows make it clear that González is something of a scene-stealer, able to draw the eyes of the audience even when her role is of a smaller supporting nature.

Hobbs and Shaw

PG-13
AdventureAction

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw unites the unlikely duo of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw in the Fast Saga’s first spinoff movie. The titular anti-heroes don’t cross paths with Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto this time. Instead, they fight Idris Elba’s artificially enhanced super soldier Brixton Lore with the help of Shaw’s sister Hattie and mother Magdelene, played by Vanessa Kirby and Helen Mirren, respectively.

The Fast And Furious franchise has steadily added to its cast roster with each installment, expanding the “family” and the allies they have. In this spin-off from the main movies, Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham) team up to help Shaw’s sister. González plays a former lover of Shaw’s, but she is not relegated to just a love interest.

Her Madame M is a thief that Hobbs and Shaw ally with in their match against Idris Elba’s cybernetically enhanced villain. While the movie might go farther outside of the realm of what’s possible that most of the Fast And Furious movies do, González clearly has a great time in the middle of the action and trading banter with the cast. The chemistry of the cast is what sells these movies alongside the car chase spectacles.

With the Fast And Furious franchise still ongoing, it would be nice to see González utilized in other films.

Michael Bay returns to the director’s chair with Ambulance, an action-thriller film that follows siblings Danny and Will Sharp in a high-stakes heist that goes terribly wrong. When Afghanistan veteran Will’s wife needs medical treatment they can’t afford, Will seeks help from his criminal-record-toting brother, Danny. To help him, Danny offers him the chance to join him on the biggest heist of his life, which would take care of his wife and more. But when the heist goes wrong, the two find themselves hijacking an ambulance with a wounded officer and a stellar EMT as they attempt to fend off law enforcement in a bombastic unyielding chase across Los Angeles.

Ambulance is from the creative mind of Michael Bay, who is known for his explosive action sequences. While there is plenty of that here along with a car chase that dominates the movie, Ambulance might be one of his most human film efforts because so much of the focus is squarely on the main characters.

González plays a paramedic taken hostage by a pair of adopted brothers (Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) after they steal her ambulance during a heist. González holds her own against the two actors, who are both known for their dramatic chops. It’s a high-energy film that requires all three of the performers to be at the top of their game.

Of course, the movie does still rely heavily on the action to tell the story, which is why it does not rate nearly as high as some of González’s other projects among her best.

I Care A Lot stars Rosamund Pike as Marla Grayson, a con artist who makes money by becoming a court-appointed guardian for elderly people she claims can’t take care of themselves, and then stealing their life’s savings. But things don’t go according to plan when she tries to do the same thing to a mother of a dangerous mob boss.

J Blakeson

Both satire and thriller, I Care A Lot is an incredibly dark comedy. It shows the audience some of the worst of what humanity has to offer, creating a relatively bleak exploration of human relationships, but it does it with quite a few laughs.

González stars alongside Rosamund Pike. While Pike is the con artist who works as a caregiver, taking advantage of her charges to get them to support her lifestyle, González is her partner. Her character is a morally grey one who is slightly outshined in the movie by Pike, but that does not mean she does not offer up one of her best performances.

Because all of the characters at the center of the story take reprehensible actions against the vulnerable, it relies heavily on the audience wanting to watch Pike, González, and Peter Dinklage work. Their performances are stellar.

Alita: Battle Angel

pg-13
ActionAdventureSci-Fi

Produced by James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez, Alita: Battle Angel adapts the manga Gunnm to live-action, featuring Rosa Salazar as the titular cyborg who quests to rebuild her identity as she faces the dark forces that plague Iron City. With the help of Christoph Waltz’s Dr. Ido and Keean Johnson’s Hugo, Alita learns to play the futuristic game of Motorball, which could be her ticket to enter the floating city of Zalem. Unfortunately, not everything is as it seems in the year 2563.

Alita: Battle Angel, inspired by the manga Gunnm, is an ambitious movie. It features impressive action sequences and special effects, but it’s often bogged down in the details. The movie does not quite pull off everything it tries to do, but it is still visually stunning and worth the watch.

Alita: Battle Angel follows the titular character, played by Rosa Salazar, when she awakens as a cyborg with no memory of her past. She sets out to discover her own destiny. González also plays a cyborg, but she plays one who is an assassin, working for a criminal leader.

González is really underutilized here. She’s an interesting character as both a femme fatale and a cyborg assassin, but her time in the movie is relatively short in the grand scheme of the story. For that reason, movies that allow the audience to see even more of her stellar performances outrank it.

Though it might not rank on everyone’s best heist movies of all time lists, Cut Throat City is still a fun heist film. Unlike some of her other recent action roles, González does not play one of the members of the heist team, however, but the detective investigating them.

Set in New Orleans following the wreckage of Hurricane Katrina, a group of friends decide to pull off an impressive heist to help turn their lives around. González investigates the casino they rob, looking into every potential avenue of discovery.

While the movie has a lot of twists, some might say too many, and a lot of moving pieces, González helps to humanize the investigative angle. Often, the detectives in these movies are seen as the villain because the protagonists are the thieves. González, however, plays her character with a great degree of empathy, making it easy to understand her pursuit and her work.

…the movie she signed up for, and the movie that ended up on screen, are very different.

Godzilla Vs. Kong is one of the best parts of the modern Monsterverse. Many fans and critics will likely agree that the battle between the two titans is one for the ages, and the inclusion of Mechagodzilla in the mix makes the spectacle incredibly entertaining. Outside of the monsters of the movie though, there is the human element that helps to drive the story forward and provide explanations for the audience.

González, unfortunately, does not appear in a huge role in the movie. According to the actor herself, the movie she signed up for, and the movie that ended up on screen, are very different. Many things were changed in the middle of filming, and several of her character’s scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.

Despite that, González gives a great performance. She’s a grown-up version of a high school mean girl, intent on getting her way and unafraid of voicing her opinion to a room full of people who might not agree with her. Her short time in the movie is a fantastic hint of what might have been if her role had been expanded and makes a great case for giving her the chance to play a villain instead of a hero.

González very much steals the scenes in which she appears.

González got her start in Mexican television, and she has not completely abandoned work in Mexico in favor of work in other parts of the world. La Máquina is proof of that as the limited series released in 2024. The Mexican boxing drama is a sports drama, a thriller, and a love story all rolled into one.

Gael García Bernal stars as the titular character, an aging boxer whose own body has begun to betray him. When he loses an important match, his manager (Diego Luna) sets up a rematch to help get him a shot at the title. The trouble is keeping things like his own hallucinations at bay in order to get him there.

González stars as Irasema, the ex-wife of the manager who also happens to be a reporter. Her connection to the main characters and her career path put her right in the middle of the action in the series, despite the show clearly being built as a vehicle for Bernal and Luna. González very much steals the scenes in which she appears.

3 Body Problem

3 Body Problem is a Netflix original series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, along with Alexander Woo. Based on the novel of the same name by Liu Cixin, 3 Body Problem centers on a detective who joins forces with a group of scientists after an unknown force begins killing scientists around the world.

3 Body Problem, from the same team that helmed Game of Thrones, alongside writer and producer Alexander Woo, is a science fiction series created for Netflix. It’s an adaptation of the Chinese story of the same name, and the first time the adaptation has striven to create an international story. While the cast is still predominantly Asian, the plot of the story expands beyond China to include the rest of the world, and consequently, a more international cast.

González stars as one of the “Oxford Five,” the scientists investigating the extraterrestrial mystery at the heart of the show. Her character works with nanotechnology, something that comes up again and again in the series. Auggie spends part of the series seeing a countdown timer that only she can view, and her actions drive a lot of the conflict in the series.

While the show can get bogged down with its focus on the science of the story rather than the fiction of the science fiction, González provides a very human element for the series. Her performance earned her an Astra TV nomination for Best Supporting Actress In A Streaming Drama Series.

Paired with Jon Hamm, González and Hamm practically steal every scene in which they appear.

Baby Driver provided González with her breakthrough role outside of Mexican TV and cinema. The movie introduced her to audiences all over the world, even if her supporting role was a relatively small one. Paired with Jon Hamm, González and Hamm practically steal every scene in which they appear.

The movie follows Ansel Elgort as “Baby,” a getaway driver who decides he might want to get out of the criminal business when he falls for a waitress played by Lily James. González and Hamm are members of the crew he is forced to work with.

González is, as is par for the course with a lot of her action movies, the only female member of the criminal crew, and her character is the wife of Hamm’s. The duo paint a very “Bonnie and Clyde” view of their characters that is incredibly fun to watch. She might not have as large of a role here compared to some of her other movies, but it really provides a great showcase for how talented González is with a smaller role.

Baby Driver was nominated for three Academy Awards.

The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare comes from the creative direction of Guy Ritchie, and it has a similar style and tone to movies like Inglorious Basterds. As a result, the movie is incredibly violent, humorous, and provides its own take on history.

The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare follows a group of spies who are set against German soldiers during the movie’s version of Operation Postmaster. While it strays far from the real events of World War II, the movie’s ensemble cast of Henry Cavill, Henry Golding, Alan Ritchson, and González herself are so fun to watch that the audience will likely not be worried about whether or not the movie presents fact or fiction to them.

Eiza González might not have as high of a kill count as some of the other stars of the movie, but her scenes provide her with some great scenery chewing. She’s fantastic in the role, and it’s definitely one of her best to date.
