Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Kate Mara
HBO series delivers crackling entertainment based on the nefarious doings under the radar in DC. Film uses the new model of rapidly intercutting several plot threads at a frantic pace which gives the sense of continuous action when most of what's on screen is people talking.
Spacey is outstanding in the role of a lifetime. He commands the screen with his voice, body language and fourth-wall breaking asides.
When this was first released to streaming people watched it compulsively for 12 hours. It's easy to see why. The urge to hit the 'next' button is strong. Is it great drama? Dunno. Shakespeare on speed with language a step or two down. Let's see how it looks in 20 years.
