Miss Sloane (2016)

When lobbyist Jessica Chastain begins working against the gun lobby, their entire power structure, including United States Senators, comes gunning for her. At its core, it feels a bit like a based on actual events film written by Aaron Sorkin, similar to his and Chastain’s pairing in Molly’s Game. She gives a truly powerhouse performance that controls the entire film and outshines everyone else. Sadly an unnecessary prostitution side plot and a seriously contrived ending ruined too much of my enjoyment of the film.
