God Is A Bullet Continues Jones' Steady Acting Resurgence
Video above showcases the introduction of Maureen Bacon, portrayed by Jones, who is the dissatisfied spouse of John Lee, played by Paul Johansson. The God is a Bullet clip delves into a heated argument between the two characters, where Maureen expresses her discontentment with their deteriorating marriage since their initial encounter, in a profane and intoxicated manner.After gaining recognition for her Emmy-nominated role as Betty Draper on the television series Mad Men in 2007, Jones rose to greater fame in the 2010s. She starred in films such as Unknown, an action-thriller led by Liam Neeson, and X-Men: First Class, a soft reboot of the popular franchise by 20th Century Fox. While the latter movie received positive reviews, her portrayal of mutant telepath Emma Frost received criticism for reducing the character to a mere object of sexual desire.
Jones' career began to slow down in the mid-2010s, despite starring in a few movies. She found success in the cult comedy show The Last Man on Earth, but went nearly a decade without a leading role in a film after Good Kill. However, her role in God is a Bullet offers Jones the opportunity to continue her gradual acting resurgence and showcase her talent in a more substantial role. In her most recent work in the short-lived Netflix teen drama Spinning Out, Jones impressed with her portrayal of a mother living with bipolar disorder. As God is a Bullet marks Jones' return to the big screen after almost a decade, there is hope that this feature role will provide her with a character that has deeper complexity and pave the way for a further resurgence in her acting career.
