I did hear some other folks around the interwebz remarking that the main character is a fictionalized Hillary Clinton. A political character that is personally not very likeable that lives in a political world. In other words, a terrible person with severe mental issues who is willing to sacrifice everything to "win", and doesn't specifically care about the issue in question. Toss in a sop at, to Hollywood types, a noble rather than self-serving undertaking.
Seems fairly universally to be getting three stars or equivalent.
To give credit where it is due, there's apparently a very contrived scene where a gunman decides to try to shoot the plunky anti-gun lobbyist heroes. Which as far as I know has never happened in American history. Annnd is stopped by a CCW holder. I'm a bit shocked at that revelation. That they didn't take the over-the-top beat-them-on-the-head narrative, such as some evil Republican white male shooting down some plucky artistic minority female while waving a confederate flag and wearing a Trump hat. Solely a ridiculous narrative. There is some ambiguity. Not a lot, of course, just a touch. They also left the main character as a terrible unredeeming person.
