Lots of one-star reviews, and all for the ridiculous reason that a small part of the film uses gun-control as a means of moving the script. The movie is really about exposing corruption in Washington, an issue that the Right should be on board with. Chastain is great, and the pace and plot make the movie seem much shorter than its actual run time. Again, you can safely ignore the one and two-star reviews, as those are just for two issues: 1) the film dared offer facts about gun crime, and 2) it had a woman in the title role as someone ten times smarter than everyone else. If it had been a man, somebody like Kevin Spacey from The Usual Suspects, then these Righties would have no problem. But a WOMAN being THAT smart? Please. And gun-control too? SO, please, ignore the one star reviews and give this thriller a shot.
