## Summary

Jessica Chastain stars in *Heartland*, a pulpy Netflix mystery about a retired country singer who returns to Nashville to search for her missing niece. The film pairs the family mystery with a colourful music-industry setting and a brash lead character, aiming for fast-paced genre entertainment.

Misty Jones left Nashville years ago after her career and personal relationships soured, but agrees to help when her niece Charlie, an aspiring country star, disappears for three days. The review says Chastain brings acidic charisma and some nuance to the role, while the convoluted plot and exaggerated tone strain credibility; its brisk pace and suspense still make it entertaining if viewers do not take it too seriously.
