Great Film overall
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I cant get enough of this movie, it's Jessica's best work so far, in my book.
This movie could have been something great, if its script could have managed to be something coherent. alas, it is not. neither my mother nor i could follow the film to save our lives, and i have a BA in cinema! granted, my cinema dean once told me i wasn't so good with non linear storytelling so maybe this wasn't the film for me, but judging by some other comments on here, i'm thinking i'm not alone on being completely lost when it was over. in the hands of a great screenwriter, this film could have been very powerful (ie, Chastain's collaboration with sorkin, 'molly's game'. great film and easy to follow, despite similar themes of fast paced dialogue and complicated themes) ultimately, when you can't keep track of who is on what side and what is and isn't relevant to the film, you have a problem. i would have failed the film but gave an extra point for Chastain's bad ass performance.
Look. This is Hollywood -- you should expect a blatantly liberal agenda that skews facts and disrespects/insults middle-America. This film certainly fits that criteria. It's intended to influence public opinion on the gun control debate. However, I can't completely dismiss this piece of propaganda because it's undeniably well-made. Also, it accurately portrays many aspects of DC lobbying underbelly. Finally, Jessica Chastain is a tremendous actor, and her performance in this film is no exception. So, if you are a liberal who's looking for highly entertaining confirmation bias, this is your movie. For the rest of us who prefer neutrality, it's simply a big case of "what could have been." Too bad.
"Simple" masterpiece. Worth spent your precious time.
