Acting career
[edit]Beginnings and breakthrough (1998–2001)
[edit]Mendes started her acting career after a talent manager saw her photograph in a friend's portfolio.[11]Her first film role was as part of a group of young people who become lost in middle America in the direct-to-video horror filmChildren of the Corn V: Fields of Terror.Mendes was disappointed in her performance and soon hired an acting coach.[12]She subsequently took on the roles of a bridesmaid in the comedyA Night at the Roxbury(1998) withWill FerrellandChris Kattan,a housekeeper in the fantasy family filmMy Brother the Pig(1999) withScarlett Johansson,and an ill-fated film student in the slasher filmUrban Legends: Final Cut(2000).
Mendes appeared in theSteven Seagalaction thrillerExit Wounds(2001), which made over US$73 million worldwide.[13]According to Mendes, her voice was dubbed in the editing after a producer told her she "didn't sound intelligent enough".[14]Her breakthrough came later in 2001 with her performance as the mistress of a corrupt cop inAntoine Fuqua's crime thrillerTraining DayalongsideDenzel WashingtonandEthan Hawke.[15]She described her role as pivotal in her career, motivating her to keep going as an actress after she had become bored doing "terrible, cheesy horrible films."[16]Training Daywas a box office hit, grossing US$104.5 million.[17]

Her role inTraining Dayled to larger film parts and Mendes soon established herself as aHollywoodactress. While her sole film release in 2002 was the crime comedyAll About the Benjamins,in which she played the girlfriend of a con artist, Mendes had roles in four studio feature films released throughout 2003.2 Fast 2 Furiousteamed her withPaul WalkerandTyrese Gibsonwhile portraying aUnited States Customs Serviceagent working undercover for a notorious Argentine drug lord. The film gave Mendes much wider exposure, grossing over US$236 million globally.[18]The Western action filmOnce Upon a Time in Mexicosaw her star as the daughter of a Mexican drug lord, alongsideAntonio BanderasandSalma Hayek.While reviews for the film were mixed, it made US$98.1 million.[19]
Mendes reunited with Denzel Washington for the thrillerOut of Time,in which she played the soon-to-be ex-wife of a well-respected chief of police. The film was a moderate commercial success,[20]andRoger Ebert,in his review for the film, described Mendes' role as a "curiously forgiving character, who feels little rancor for the straying [husband] and apparently still likes him; maybe there would have been more suspense if she were furious with him".[21]Her last 2003 film was the comedyStuck on You,withMatt DamonandGreg Kinnear,in which she played an aspiring actress.[11]
She starred as the love interest of a professional dating consultant (Will Smith), in her next film,Hitch(2005),USA Todaydescribed it as "her best screen role to date",[22]andDetroit Free Pressremarked: "Smith and Mendes are terrific together. He brings her game up so high you'd think she has had as many good parts as Smith."[23]Hitchmade US$368.1 million in its global theatrical run.[24]In 2005, Mendes also starred in the little-seen filmsThe Wendell Baker StoryandGuilty Hearts.
In the romantic comedyTrust the Man(2006), Mendes starred withDavid Duchovny,Billy Crudup,Julianne Moore,andMaggie Gyllenhaal,playing whatThe A.V. Clubdescribed as a "vapid sexpot".[25]The much criticizedGhost Rider(2007), based on theMarvel Comics character,featured Mendes as the love interest of the titular character (Nicolas Cage). The film fared well commercially, opening atop at the North American box office, with earnings of more than US$45 million; it eventually made over US$228 million worldwide.[26]She starred oppositeJoaquin PhoenixandMark Wahlbergin the thrillerWe Own the Night(also 2007), as the girlfriend of anNYPDcaptain's brother. CriticPeter Traversfound the film to be "defiantly, refreshingly unhip" and noted that "sizzle comes naturally" from Mendes.[27]In 2007, she also starred in the filmsLive!andCleaner,both of which went unnoticed by audiences, and made an uncredited cameo appearance in the comedyKnocked Up.
In 2008, Mendes took on the role of a perfume salesgirl in Saks Fifth Avenue in the all-female comedyThe Women,oppositeMeg Ryan,Annette Bening,Debra Messing,andJada Pinkett Smith.[28]Though a commercial success,The Womenwas panned by critics, with Mendes earning a nomination for theGolden Raspberry Award for Worst Actressfor her performance. She also played thefemme fataleSand Saref in 2008'sThe Spirit,based on the newspapercomic stripofthe same namebyWill Eisner.It received lackluster reviews from critics, who deemed it melodramatic, unoriginal, and sexist.[29]Her only 2009 film release was the crime dramaBad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,which reunited her with Nicolas Cage,[30]playing a prostitute, and again, his love interest. While the film found a limited audience in theaters, it garnered acclaim, appearing on many top ten lists of the year.[31]

Mendes reunited with previous collaboratorsWill Ferrelland Mark Wahlberg for the action comedyThe Other Guys(2010), in which she portrayed the wife of a mild-mannered forensic NYPD accountant (Ferrell).[32]It was a commercial success, grossing US$170.4 million globally.[33]In 2010, she also played the co-worker and the love interest of a committed man inMassy Tadjedin's romantic dramaLast Night,alongsideKeira KnightleyandSam Worthington.[34]While she was initially reluctant to star, worrying that the character would "lack originality" and was "too seductive", she agreed to play the role after meeting with Tadjedin; she said: "It was great to connect with a female director and talk about this woman and not objectify her as the other woman but give her a real true life and make her honest... Thank God I did."[35][36]
In 2011, Mendes appeared in an uncredited cameo inFast Five,reprising her role from2 Fast 2 Furious.In 2012, she starred in the dramedyGirl in Progress,as a single mom raising her fourteen-year-old daughter, and in the art fantasy dramaHoly Motors,as Kay M, a role originally written forKate Moss.WhileGirl in Progressearned Mendes anALMA Awardnomination for Favorite Movie Actress, she describedHoly Motorsas "the coolest, most creative thing I've ever done".[37]
InThe Place Beyond the Pines(also 2012), a drama directed byDerek Cianfranceand alongsideRyan GoslingandBradley Cooper,[38]Mendes portrayed the former lover of a motorcycle stuntman. The film was a moderate commercial success, andEntertainment Weekly,in its review, described her performance as "quietly heartbreaking".[39]She also visited Sierra Leone and was featured in thePBSdocumentaryHalf the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide,which aired in October 2012.[40]
In 2013, Mendes appeared in theHBOcomedy filmClear Historyas a formerly heavy-set woman,[41]and in 2014, she starred as a cabaret show performer in Ryan Gosling's directorial debutLost River,which competed in theUn Certain Regardsection at theCannes Film Festival.[42][43][44]Thereafter, she retired from the film industry. Speaking of her retirement in 2022, Mendes said:
"I got tired fighting for the good roles. There just was a point where I thought, ‘I’m going to create my own opportunities and become a producer on things and create my own material,’ but it just didn’t feel worth it to me. There are more opportunities for Latina actresses now (in 2022), but when I bowed out 10 years ago I wasn’t being offered things that weren’t specifically Latina. It is exciting that things are different now, so who knows what I will do in the future. But right now, I’m keeping it in the home with my kids."[45]
