Jessica Chastain is exactly what you think a ball busting, highly competent and careful lobbyist who will do what ever it takes to win would be like. She is gorgeous, wears red lipstick that emphasizes her luminous complexion and she somehow remains unattractive because of her inhumanity. Her entire life is consumed with the chess game of lobbying for her side. She is plotting several steps ahead, if Plan A doesn't work out then there is a Plan B. And Plan C. And so on. She is all over it, and very very careful to bend the law until it is unrecognizable rather than out and out break it.
She is equal parts terrifying and remarkable in her perfection. She shocks everyone when she takes on lobbying for a bill that would restrict gun laws. It is a long shot and she is not known for taking long shots. What rolls out next is exactly what you would think with an unexpected ending. Really quite good, even though mid movie you might question that assessment.
