Miss Sloane Reviews

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but the ratings were pretty good and since I have a weak spot for Jessica Chastain and since it was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, it turned out to be a really solid political thriller with a fairly realistic approach, even if it was sometimes slightly difficult to follow its rapid-fire dialogues. Still, even if the whole thing felt for the most part quite grounded, some of it was still rather far-fetched. For example, even in some fantasy world, the strongest lobbyist in the world would still not be able to bring down the all-powerful gun lobby. Furthermore, even if it was pretty neat to see Jessica Chastain playing such a badass woman, it was rather hard to swallow that this character could predict pretty much any possible random twist. Concerning Chastain, to be honest, I had some mixed feelings about her. I mean, I can understand that she was attracted by such a strong character and she really nailed this performance but, to be honest, it would be nice to see her playing someone slightly more vulnerable for a change. At least, they didn’t ruin her character by adding some generic romance, some basic family drama or the standard best friend giving some moral support. Anyway, to conclude, even it wasn’t a complete home-run, it was still a really entertaining thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
