There's never a hair out of place in 'Miss Sloane', a painstakingly slick political thriller from director John Madden about a brilliant lone wolf lobbyist consumed with the win. All the pieces are there, especially in the film's subject - the steely Elizabeth Sloane (Jessica Chastain), a pill-popping master manipulator who is always at the ready with a perfect quip, biblical verse or history lesson for the moment. She's a mercenary who is out for the win at all costs, and she's the best at it. Relationships are nothing but arsenal (and thus disposable) and she's the only one who will ever know the grand plan. 'Miss Sloane' has the misfortune of coming out in this political moment.
