The ideal role for Jessica Chastain is a strong businesswoman. It has its weaknesses, as does the script, but the overall dramatic picture of this political film is impressive.

Watched
"Sloan’s Dangerous Game" is not a revelation or an adrenaline-fueled race track with constant twists and turns, but simply a good story with a strong heroine and a humanistic message. They don’t give us that little. The film is underrated and deserves the attention of people who love serious, smart cinema.
