Parker's permanent woman Claire (Claire Carroll) is described in the books as being of surpassing beauty, a true world class beauty with a gorgeous, statuesque build. She would have been way out of Parker's league, except that she was involved in an earlier heist with him and was falling for him anyway when she found herself in mortal peril and he gallantly saved her life. Not many actresses could have played the part fittingly, but it is impossible to believe skinny, plain-faced Emma Booth as Claire. Sometimes miscasting really damages a film, and this is just such a case.
