She also appeared in cult thriller Memento, acclaimed drama Chocolat and sci-fi flop Red Planet before reprising the role of Trinity for sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. Since then, she has appeared in a number of films, including Disturbia, Fireflies in the Garden and Love Hurts.
