Be it that the case, then follow the rib-tickling countdown of Eiza González’s top 10 movies and TV performances of hidden gems to blockbusters.
10. Bloodshot (2020)
Sure, it is a Vin Diesel action flick, but let me explain. Bloodshot presents Eizawith an occasion to display her action talents as KT, a cyborg soldier with smarts in addition to strength. She is fashionable, clever, and the voice of common sense among all the madness. Eiza was called by the critics “effortlessly cool,” and it is hard to argue with that. Even if the movie wasn’t groundbreaking, Eiza still elevates it with her trademark calm and power.
9. From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series (2014–2016)
Before her Hollywood breakthrough, Eiza reshaped an archetype on TV by taking over from Salma Hayek as Santanico Pandemonium in Robert Rodriguez’s TV remake. She breathes irresistible allure and sharp wit to the role, showing that she can do horror and action as well as high drama in one go. Three seasons later, she not only shaped the character but also proved to the world that she still had a lot to accomplish..
8. Paradise Hills (2019)
The word that comes to mind when looking at Paradise Hills is visually stunning. Dreamlike, complex, and completely unnoticed by the audience, it features Eiza as Amarna, a famous pop singer locked in a bizarre reform school for “wayward” females. The film is a nightmare (or maybe a daydream) full of captivating imagery and a feeling of creepy anticipation. Eiza adds depth and warmth to the story through her character, giving the narrative a human heartbeat that is felt beneath the world of fantasy. It is one of the quirky little movies that become automatically better with her presence.
7. She’s Missing (2019)
Eiza plays Jane, a rodeo queen and army wife who disappears and so sparking a desperate hunt in this slow-burning psychological thriller. The movie is full of atmosphere, and Eiza’s runner-up, nuanced and unpredictable performance is its heart. She glides from strength to fragility with no trouble, each scene gaining an added layer of intrigue and emotion. This is a more low-key acting gig that confirms her talent for range.
6. Cut Throat City (2020)
One time after the catastrophe that changed the picture of New Orleans, Cut Throat City was the film, and Eiza was the main character, Detective Lucinda Valencia, a woman of iron who gets her satisfaction by helping the city that was destroyed to recover. She is a human bomb made of feeling, and she doesn’t shy away from it. And in this chaotic world of crooked dealings and evil, she is the good that people follow. Her acting was very powerful and tender at the same time, and the point is that she was able to do it, so the statement ” a commanding and compassionate force” used by the critics is not far-fetched.
5. Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Truth be to, nobody watches the movie for the human characters. Nevertheless, Eiza finds a way to be the center of attention even among monsters. As Maia Simmons, the corporate diva, she’s all that and more – sharp, crafty, and ridiculously ambitious. Wonderfully, in her part, she performs a walk-on and leaves her signature. Acting that allows one to stand out not only among different human characters but also between Godzilla and King Kong is quite telling.
4. Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Definitely, Eiza doesn’t need much time to make a solid impression. Nyssiana is a perfect creation of the fusion of metal and mind, a deadly and cold-blooded assassin, one half lethal woman and the other half a nightmare from the future, and absolutely cannot be forgotten. Her acting turns the chaotic but high-tech rebellion in the film into biting irony. She is the absolute queen for every moment in which she doesn’t leave the camera field.
3. I Care a Lot (2021)
Rosamund Pike can star in this darkly comedic thriller, but Eiza González adds balance and energy as Fran, Maria’s lover and accomplice. Both scam elderly clients, and where Pike’s Maria is cold and calculating, Eiza’s Fran is hot and hyper. Their chemistry is palpable, and Eiza’s nuanced performance brings Fran to life e someone caught between love and ambition. It’s a sleek, chic part that demonstrates her capability of playing morally complex roles with verve to spare.
2. Ambulance (2022)
Let Michael Bay take a wild swing and toss Eiza into a high-octane, two-hour adrenaline-fueled ride. As paramedic Cam Thompson, she’s the emotional center of the Ambulance stuck in a hijacked van with two robbers (Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and an injured cop. Amidst all the chaos, Eiza provides the film with its humanity. She’s fearless, vulnerable, and completely believable. Critics adored the way she stood up for herself among her in-your-face co-stars, no easy task in a Bay film.
1. Baby Driver (2017)
Eiza González is the reason Hollywood woke up to her presence with this film. In Edgar Wright’s slick, music-driven heist movie, she is Darling, the female half of the power couple that makes it easy for the world of crime with Jon Hamm’s Buddy. She is seductive, quiet, and absolutely captivating, spreading a mix of fear and love to the viewer. Eiza turns a possible supporting role into a main-star one. It’s trendy, unforgettable, and pure star-making magic.
The rise of Eiza González from a telenovela fashion victim to a Hollywood big shot is one of will, talent, and charm that cannot be contained. She delivers the same level of energy whether she is in an edgy drama, a pulp-fiction style action movie, or a sci-fi saga. In short, no matter the genre, she overpowers the screen. Her journey is proof that being a superstar doesn’t necessarily mean starring in big movies or having big roles; rather, it’s all about showing up, radiating your brightest, and stealing the spotlight every time.
