Miss Sloane

This is a powerful female driven film about the title character and politics.

It's one of Jessica's best performances if not the best. This character allows her to show so many things of her skill set. She's so believable, every nuance, every line she delivers is just so perfect. She should have been nominated for this role for every award show...

Miss Sloane is a great movie which has a very fast pace. You can't predict what's coming next, great performances by everyone on the cast.

Forget about the bad reviews, even if you don't like politics this movie will keep you interested.

It's upsetting that It bombed at the box office. I think It's because of the subject matter and people might had enough of the political climate in real life. But It really deserves to be seen.

I highly recommend this awesome, very underrated movie.

In Washington D. C., the lobbyist Madeline Elizabeth Sloane (Jessica Chastain) decides to move to a minor agency owned Rodolfo Vittorio Schmidt (Mark Strong) as a challenge in her successful career. While facing the Powers That Be, she has to prove her competency paying a high-cost.

"Miss Sloane" is one of the best thrillers recently released by the Cinema Industry. The powerful story and screenplay has complex dialogs and the magnificent Jessica Chastain in the lead role. This is the type of film that deserves to be watched more than once. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Armas na Mesa" ("Weapons on the Table")

I had never heard of this movie till a youtube channel recommended this in their list. What a gem of a movie! After a long time I saw a movie which had dialogues to remember, fast paced screenplay and a performance par excellence by Jessica Chastain. I am not American so the movie was a revelation of sorts on their political process. I give only 8 as the ending felt a little contrived. Sad it didn't get the attention it deserved when it was released and Jessica Chastain was not nominated for a Oscar. She lives the role, impossible to even imagine anyone else in the role. One thing that I kept waiting for , was the background on why Sloane is the way she is, the director kept hinting on a reveal which never comes. But thats fine, keeps the character ambiguous till the end. And its not liberals vs republicans etc, I didn't see them take sides.

This was an entertaining movie. Jessica Chastain is gorgeous. The acting, writing and dialogue are good. The subject material is smart.

It's not really about guns or gun control. It's about corruption in Washington. And how lobbyists and politicians don't really do what is best for the country or it's people. They do what is best for them and their careers. And what will get them money and power.

Fantastic movie - exceptional acting, intricate plot, suspenseful scenes throughout and an unbelievable twist at the end, which was impossible to predict.

Whilst some gun-tooting viewers may not appreciate the biased view towards the need for greater gun control measures (a point so intelligently made by drawing an analogy with car ownership), there can be no doubting the quality of this piece of work from a cinematographic perspective.

The recurrent theme not of gun ownership issues but rather of aberrant behaviour by self-serving politicians, if indeed not evident corruption and nepotism, is a theme that will strike a strong cord in many Western countries today, and lead us to question what democracy actually means in a world where money plays the role of god.
