'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.
