Fast Paced Fun

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2019)

I don't understand the reviewers who say the movie/dialogue/narration is too fast paced. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be fast paced. Maybe to give one a sense of the urgency and desperation with which these rich idiots stake their fortunes on card games. I won't try to dissect this movie for you. It grabs your full attention almost immediately and doesn't let go. It's well worth watching. Jessica Chastain is pretty much flawless as an actor and is probably the only (at least American) female actor who has any chance of dethroning Meryl Streep anytime in the next 30+ years.
