I was excited to check this out cause I just loved the cast. Allison Janney gives another fantastic performance as Pam. The thing that she does that so few actors do is she seriously becomes her roles. She IS Pam. You don’t see Allison, you just see the character, unlike Frank who can only be seen as Hugh Jackman. Other actor that accomplish this time and again are people like Julianne Moore, Christian Bale, and Charlize Theron. The entire lynchpin of the film is a note Pam gives to Frank “You’re Not the Sociopath Here.” It really encapsulates the entire film about someone who is revealed to be an unethical sociopath only for us to realize she was tame by comparison to another sociopath. These tendencies reach out like tendrils that afflict everyone in the film. You constantly think, it can’t be this bad, but it just becomes a blueprint for people behaving so much worse as characters peel back the onion of Frank Tassone.
