Her narrative is what drives the film forward a long with the chemistry and scenes she shares with Idris Elba. A fantastic high stakes drama with some great characters. It flies by right from the opening scene and never lets up thanks to the talented supporting cast who come and go to mirror the rise and fall of real life.
I agree, 9/10. Jessica Chastain and Mark Wahlberg are the best rapid fire dialogue people in the business, though Whalberg rarely gets cast that way (see The Departed).
