'Nocturnal Animals'
Multi-leveled story that covers Amy Adam's present, past, and fictional involvement with Hammer and Gyllenhaal. Beautifully edited with its seamless transitions and gripping with its hard-hitting drifts into fiction. Twists and turns with a lesson we already know: Never drive on two lane highways in the middle of the night in West Texas.

'Miss Sloane'
This is an actors film with a very compelling story centering around unbridled ambition and the Second Amendment. Chastain is near brilliant as a driven woman who must win at all costs and has few moral compunctions until she meets with the head of a fictional gun owners association. In that moment she finally rebels and decides to switch horses on the issues. The film is not about the Second but it is a compelling backdrop to all the behinds the scenes actions of lobbyists and their PR firms.

Both films are definitely worth a see. They are totally different from each other with only Nocturnal having tense and violent moments. Both of these should be doing some deep trawling.

Haven't seen it but your description allays my thoughts to a British Thriller of the 50's

Chase a Crooked Shadow with Dirk Bogarde and Anne Baxter

I may be off course --long time since I've seen that

Jessica Chastain gives a wonderful performance that is riveting every moment she's on-screen. Some of the plot twists bordered on farcical, but Ms. Chastain guides them to believability.
