This is what I'm talking about: a female-driven drama about the gun lobby starring Jessica Chastain in full flame.

All we learn from Miss Sloane is what we already knew: D.C. is debased, but Hollywood is obtuse, and this country needs a better class of political fantasy.

Miss Sloane has a narrative momentum that is hard to wholly resist. It's absurd. But it's never boring.

Rated: 3/5

Jessica Chastain's commanding performance is a chilling indictment of capital corruption. This is flamboyant fiction that mirrors fact.

I had to rewind several times to catch up with the snappy Sorkin-on-Ritalin pace. (Watching 8 years later it was nice to see Jake Lacy & Alison Pill, stars from White Lotus (money, class, & greed) and Picard (loss of all freedom to jingoist autocracy) Venn diagram overlap is the US political body.)

First, Jessica Chastain's performance is, as usual, beyond reproach. Strong and Lithgow ably render what is required of their one-note characters. Unfortunately, Stuhlbarg, who can make any role come to life, no matter how low-budget the production or how poorly written, is limited to shouting obscenities and threats, a half-note character. It all comes down to the writing. The plot and setting are interesting enough, but the dialogue (mostly monologue, actually) is high-velocity, dense verbiage that might impress the viewer if he had time to follow the thoughts. Sorkin on steroids. Better luck next time, Skippy.

This movie surpassed expectations being extremely well written directed and acted - Jessica Chastain delivers a masterful performance punctuated by the last scene leaving a correctional facility -

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
