Review Time: this film is good.
Fundamental elements: there are
voice-over elements, words and numbers on screen, background music, slow-motion
effects, quick moving effects, mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.
The movement
of this project is quick and it bounces along, it knows what it wants to do and
get on with it, this film is long [roughly speaking 140 minutes] but it doesn't
feel like it.
Origin storyline/Back stories/Storyline: to begin with the storyline is based on real-life events and it is
good. Moving on a little bit now to a slightly more in-depth level; if you have
been with me a long time you know I really don't like complicating things, but
this project swiftly moves between these three points and more than one point
may be used at the same time, including voice-over elements [storyteller from
our lead character/performer's perspective and on a quick side note we also
have another character/performer telling these little stories amongst other
things to our lead character/performer verbally,] mental imagery and dialogue
exchanges [these things are not negative things about this project, just a
heads up.] Let's just say once you begin watching it; you will understand
quickly about my previous section about the movement in this review.
Action sequences/Artistic visions/Comedy level: there are weapons being used, combat, training, exercise, chasing,
skiing and poker. The artistic visions are clear to see be it the night
elements were you get to see this location by night with all the various lights
and other elements or the poker scenes [being organized by our lead
character/performer and poker elements on screen. The comedy level these
represent themselves in different bits and pieces, voice-over elements or
dialogue exchanges or here is one element for you to look out for; the
switching of seats
Character developments/Performances: generally speaking the character developments and the performances
are all good [there is good chemistry or friction depending where you are; is
depending what you get.] But between Chastain and Elba or Chastain and Costner
these two different partnerships work on a higher-level, yes there is
chemistry/friction between these two pairs, but there is a different bases or
connection for their partnerships; on another quick side note Elba as a Lawyer
character, he seems to make this character look really natural as in the way he
looks [wardrobe,] the way he talks and gives this monologue in this room in
front of our lead character/role and another two characters/performers,
basically he is the complete package as it relates to a top-level Lawyer.
This film receives: 7/10 as I have
already said this film is good, if there are any fans of Chastain, Elba or
Costner out there give this film a go [just before I finish, here is an
honourable mention for the other performers that performed as Chastain's
character; they do their part to bring this character to life as well.]
