Yeah - she was definitely way more chill in the movie than in the book. The two characters were similar, in the way that a dragonfly is similar to a dragon.
That sucks. I liked her borderline kim Jong un personality.
She has much less screen time in the movie than in the book. They don't dedicate any time to her being given carte blanche from every government in the world to do whatever she thinks she needs to do to get the job done, laws, resources, and money be damned. So it does make less sense in that context to make her such a hard-core "fuck you, do what I say" type. Her movie incarnation still has an edge, and is still stand-offish, but she clearly has a soft spot for her team, including Grace. I honestly think that it leads to a more satisfying moment when she finally betrays his wishes and forces him into the mission. If you weren't already in the know, it comes as a total shock that she would go to those lengths, where I don't think it was really surprising in the book, given what you have already seen from her.
It was a directive choice, and I think it was the right one given the time constraints and narrative structure of the movie. But I agree it would have been fun to see her telling the worlds' authorities to get in line or get the fuck out of her way. As someone said though, that still exists in the book. It just didn't fit into the movie that way.
I think the shocker in the book was her actually her making herself emotionally vulnerable during her betrayal. It's okay, it's their choice, but I would have loved seeing an HR manager type lady peacefully asking for help, and going full stratt mode after rejection.
