BradWesley123's Movie Journal- April 2017 (33 movies items)" DVD- 2hrs. 12min. First Viewing Too clever for its own good; Miss Sloane often serves as a superb showcase for Jessica Chastain's talents, but a script that wants to be clever at the expense of all else derails thiss film from reaching its full potential. It's like a watered-down Sorkin script, with rat-a-tat dialogue, but without his solid plotting. Chastain is superb, but even she can't make the last act "twist" anything but absurd. Every now and then, though, it does stumble along some stron"

Movies viewed in 2017 (338 movies items)"15/5/17 A political thriller about a lobbyist fighting against pro-guns might not seem the most exciting of subject matters but this wordy film is given an ace card: Jessica Chastain. She is mesmerizing in a role that, frankly, is unlikeable and yet she dominates the screen throughout, leaving the rest of the cast as bit players. Well worth watching just for her performance and the neat twist in the final act."

My Movie Diary 2017 (217 movies items)" 17 March. Elizabeth Sloane, a Washington DC power-broker who takes on an Anti-Gun bill is almost a superhero, an action heroine with her own set of weaknesses and given a face by Jessica Chastain is the kind of fiery, nuanced role that was missing in the best actress nominees of the year. The poor box office is to be blamed. "
Movie Diary (spiel within, not spoiler free) pt.ii (24 movies items)"1) America is fucked up. 2) The movie is 2 hours long and it gets tiring watching these corrupt fuckers go back and forth. Well acted and informative in its way. It makes an interesting enough story but it's not particularly a movie I loved. "

2016 Movies Seen (106 movies items)"I feel I've been seeing this a lot this year but this is yet another great performance in the lead role from Jessica Chastain but with an overall movie that was very mediocre. Felt like an extended episode of the West Wing, was wondering if Aaron Sorkin wrote this but I suppose it was just channeling his dialogue. I found the whole plot to be ridiculous though and I thought the actions of Ms. Sloane to be unrealistic to how her character was set up to be. I felt like the writers lied to me reall"
