Despite that the movie is not new I looked it only recently, and although a revelation for me he did not, but like it. The story of Elizabeth Sloan lebestky of the Washington shows lively and interesting. She fanatic of the business, the social-climbing bitch and workaholic, her philosophy — the end justifies the means, for the sake of victory it is ready for all. Cute I like a woman — probably not, but on the screen it I admired and aroused the sympathy. It work is her life, for her sake she refused to calm everyday life, Sloan lives in the verge and behind a side permitted and ethical, but that's fee all the emptiness around and inside. John Madden in his film was able to show will and energy one side and inner loneliness of her character. Also managed to show the political Olympus with his secret springs and the cynicism of senators and congressmen in one or other degrees, related to lobby care for your well-being more than about voters. On these secret springs and plays Sloan, when, paradoxically, manages to manipulate the words of the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
It should be noted that a dynamic film, despite some delays in the presentation of history, then merit writer Director, only is formed the moment when the viewer can get bored, be sure the episode is showing a new round of the plot or revealing character. So the beginning associated with the Senate hearings on the case of Elisabeth interrupted by a reference to the plot of history with a gun lobby, and psychological conflicts of the characters to the way of de-stressing Sloane in hotel. After a debate about the arms a psychological victory for the audience waits for the heroine the stress and alienation of colleagues — and again a hearing is not bored. And of course the final film — broken for me two.
Jessica Chastain played her character perfectly, with all the ugly traits with purpose of loneliness in the soul. That matter said, but she is able to convey the image naturally, without tear affectedness, as if it lives. Not can not mention Mark strong's, if Chastain is a bundle of energy ready to explode and not sparing anyone, then he's a model of equanimity and tolerance, but in the same time, not leave the trouble of their team members.
Very well captured and a film about careerism, lobbying and fees chosen path.
