They're both fantastic actors with a strong track record in the genre, so why wouldn't they absolutely nail it?
While Monroe typically plays embattled heroines, her brooding qualities make her perfect for the film's villain, while Winstead should be effortlessly empathetic as her target.
As a remake of this particular story goes, the casting here is basically a best case scenario.
