This is Sorkin stroking himself.

I'll see it.

Dialogue sounds inane, but the cast looks great, especially Chastain. Reminds me of her character in A Most Violent Year.

All I know about Jennifer Lawrence is when she was on Graham Norton she was really charming but also used our little disabled lift for a "comedy" bit behind the scenes whilst everyone looked on a bit embarrassed. Basically - she's young. Oh and her and Chris Pratt loving hated each other.

She's not even in the top 10 horrible people I've met on that show.

this makes all those dumb rumors about the two of them having an affair that drove Pratt and Anna Farris apart even funnier. because god forbid a marriage just end because the two people are no longer compatible as a couple, no, it must be that someone is loving around.

Chris Pratt is a nice dude but he's personal hobbies and opinions are very right wing. He's well into hunting etc and him and Lawrence just have nothing in common.

He's religious and likes guns. That's hardly "very right wing."

I think it has more to do with Pratt saying that "blue collar Americans" are not being represented in Hollywood, although he later apologised and admitted it was a stupid thing to say.

The second best stock character is the woman who folds her arms aggressively and says things like, "Because I'm a woman, I had to be twice as ruthless as everyone else to be taken seriously"

I was kinda under the assumption that she was a bit more towards the right (not like James Woods right but like Arnold Schwartzenegger right) as well.

Honestly, Chris Pratt is basically the Jennifer Lawrence of dudes in Hollywood so it makes sense that they'd either hit it off right away or kinda bristle against each other.

Chastain is probably the only actor who could get me to watch a new Sorkin movie, god help me. And I agree, Miss Sloan was pretty mediocre but she elevated it to the point where I absolutely loved it.

Watch the Limitless TV show instead because its about someone taking the drug from Limitless and not being an rear end in a top hat about it.

Unless the second half of the show, which I haven't seen, features someone drinking human blood off the floor to get high, it's not better than the movie.

Once they escape the institution it turns into a whole new movie and I didn't like the relationship or dynamic they tried pushing. It went away from being a dark comedy IMO.
