So what? I guess living in the Washington D.C. metro region and following politics on a daily basis leaves me jaded; I did not really feel as if this film showcased anything I have not already seen in previous political films (or in the pages of Politico). Yeah, George Clooney is good- he knows how to act in this film. The real stars are Ryan Gosselin and a solid performance from Marilyn Manson’s on-again-off-again girlfriend. There was some good tension, and an interesting twist in the middle the film that made you think our political protagonist does have a heart after all. But in the end, as in politics, people simply disappoint us and this film did just that for me.
Rating C+
