Jessica Chastain Means Business In New 'Miss Sloane' Clip: "THAT Is How We Win"
Jessica Chastain‘s performance in the title role in Miss Sloane has been earning raves like this one, from Variety’s Peter Debruge: “[I]t’s engaging — make that downright electrifying — to watch a female star as strong as Jessica Chastain carry a film about a D.C. lobbyist who risks her reputation for a cause she believes in.” To get a sense for yourself of the magnetic character she’s created, watch the new Yahoo Movies exclusive clip above.

In the scene, dubbed “That Is How We Win,” Chastain’s Elizabeth Sloane delivers a detailed tactical briefing to her political squad, while her partner (Mark Strong) offers support and Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s team member watches on with a mixture of awe and horror. In just a short snippet, it captures the fierce, take-no-prisoners attitude Chastain brings to the screen, and conveys the sort of rapid-fire dialogue that drives this suspenseful drama, written by Jonathan Perera and directed by John Madden (Shakespeare in Love, The Debt).
