Kate Beckinsale is what drew me to the movie

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2017)

I watched the movie to see Kate Beckinsale, and she was gorgeous as Ava Gardner. Actually, she's prettier than the real Ava!
Kate is such an amazing actress. I can never praise her enough. She is truly versatile, starring in a wide range of movies, from Shakespeare, to Jane Austen, to crime thrillers, to modern action Gothic masterpiece Underworld! You name it. She can pull it off perfectly.
Even though Kate has only a small role in this, she shines as Ava Gardner, who would only ask Mr. Hughes to buy her dinner.
I also find the hearing at the climax very interesting. I like the way Hughes beat the senator. It was quite witty and impressive. Besides, Leonardo was brilliant in acting out the misery of having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Alan Alda portrayed the cunning and manoevering politician very well. Cate Blanchett's laughter was so crazy that I didn't even recognize her at first.
