Another Chastain vehicle. It's all about vehicles with her. This time, she's an upper-addicted cutthroat legal lobbyist taking on the gun lobby. It's got a lot of Jessica being the ice woman with fiery red hair, sanguine lipstick and stilleto heels, staying one step ahead of her opponents with surprise loose cannon moves. She's up against Sam Waterson, and later John Lithgow, and there's an all-to-short cameo with Christine Baranski. For me, Alison Pill was the interest because she's a major character in Picard, the token nerd that is ubiquitous in Star Trek now. But back to Sloane, this is okay if you like Jessica. She does what she does best in this. I was engaged, and I should've guessed the ending because it was totally foreshadowed on several levels, but I didn't so that worked for me. No sword fights. Not particularly DOOM recommended unless you're into Jessica.
