Not to be dismissed lightly

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2017)

Wasn't sure what to make of this film. At first it feels clumsy, like neither cast nor director know where to pitch it - but as the arcs develop I found myself totally engrossed in Pitt's struggle with the system and his own self belief. The mimicry aside, this is one of the best emotional journeys I've ever seen him undergo. Alan Ruck as his political nemesis is pitch perfect. Ended up thinking that though it is, to europeans, a little obvious, it is a very good Netflix effort.
