Behind every successful man is a strong woman, three in the case of John Glenn and the Mercury Seven astronauts — strong black women in fact, smart too, very smart. Hidden Figures smartly tells their tale, a can’t-miss concoction of civil rights, space race and romantic drama. Lots of star powe…

Pierce Brosnan makes the concept of a down to earth Irishman as a high flying CEO work. He almost makes up for the cheesy story of an evil I.T. genius falling a bit flat. Good but not very good. |
