Review of Miss Sloane (2016) by Kadeemluvmusic — 14 Dec 2016

I found the movie very boring and there's a good reason why this NRA-propaganda political movie just nearly bombed for good. First, I love Jessica Chastain's performance as Miss Elizabeth Sloane, a cocky yet informative lobbyist who is looking to find a equality firm and sought out to pass a bill to protect the innocent from buying any guns and firearms until she joins an unlikely group of government backers starts to ruin her moment by accusing her of fraud and purgery.

Second, this film wanted supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton as the very first female US President, until it was all taken away by (I'm not going there). Third, there were a few problems with this movie.

It tries so much to be a no nonsense thriller, but I felt that Sloane is more or less than a cookie-cuttered version of "The Adjustment Bureau" (Wasn't even that bad, but decent political thriller).

And I even spend time to shell over 90 minutes where Chastain likes to get all tomboy-ish, instead it was all "Run For Your Life" and hide your secrets thing. As for Dave Madden, the guy who gave "Shakespeare In Love" to Oscar gold in 1998, I think he did a great job directing this movie.

Unlike the shallow writing and overblown setting, Miss Sloane is very generic and Jessica Chainstain showcasing why she did deserve an Oscar nod in "Zero Dark Thirty" (One of the most important movies of all time).

I give her credit. But Miss Sloane is far from great. Unlike Snowden, Miss Sloane is one of my disappointing movies of 2016. But I sure hope Chastain's a big lucky wild card for the Oscar nominations next year.

A Best Supporting Actress Award should be great for her.
