A year later, she was cast in David Mamet's martial arts drama "Redbelt", playing attorney Laura Black. The film gained fair reviews, and "The Telegraph" critic wrote, "Emily Mortimer is impressive as a jittery, unlikable attorney". In 2009, Mortimer reprised her role as Nicole Durant in "The Pink Panther 2"; the film was panned by critics. In the last three episodes of the first season of "30 Rock", she played Phoebe, the mysterious love interest of Alec Baldwin's character, Jack Donaghy.
