Miss Sloane

★★★★

This is a political thriller staring Jessica Chastain (Interstellar, Zero Dark Thirty) as Elizabeth Sloane, a Washington DC lobbyist taking on a pro-gun group.

I didn't know much about the film before watching and I suggest the same for all, try and not watch any trailers as this is a very good thriller, with great twists and turns.

Although I did have to watch the film with the subtitles as the dialogue is fast and snappy (it reminded me of The West Wing) and I didn't want to miss any vital plot points. This film has a John Grisham quality to it, like The Firm or Pelican Brief keeping you guessing throughout and keeping you on your toes.

Jessica Chastain is in nearly every scene and she really drives the film, she is such a brilliant actor in this, playing a strong determined, if sometimes unlikeable character, but she nails it!
