To prepare for her role, Jessica Chastain spent time with real-life female lobbyists. She comes across as a cool frog, a career-maker who wants to win and goes over dead bodies. Underneath, however, lies a core of idealism, because she is really in favor of limiting gun ownership in a country where teenagers can walk around with semi-automatic weapons. There was yet another deadly school shooting this week, but it remains inconceivable that the gun law will be tightened.

It is a protest against the excessive influence of the gun lobby and the rotten American politics. (Our system is rotten). Washington is presented as a nest of opportunists. Eavesdropping, bribery and ethical decay set the tone. Everything looks numb and businesslike; almost nowhere is there a plant to be seen. If they want to kill someone, they do it with a smear campaign, a character assassination. It is never about the essence of the matter.

In the beginning, the fast editing with previews of the hearing is somewhat confusing, but that gives you the right hectic atmosphere. Then everything becomes clear step by step. Surprisingly, everything is shot in Canada. With her red hair and lipstick in an environment of gray heads, Chastain seems like a fury who wants to breathe new life into a decaying democracy. This is the best political thriller in a while.

Few comments, this was a great movie. Secretly I'm a fan of the stunning Jessica Chastain. She performed an excellent role. Can be boring for many, but I like such movies. Tension remains. Nice to see and think about.

Excellent directing in this film that presents us with the image of a clever, intransigent to unfeeling lobbyist (a firm insight into that world of recruiting prestige), but in the end also lashes out at politics. Hard words in the courtroom.

The eye-catcher is of course a stunning Jessica Chastain, but the rest of the cast may also be quoted.
