I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Let me save you 97 minutes of your life that you can't get back. The writing is derivative, trite, and predictable. The performances lacked any sort of cohesiveness. The directing felt uneven and the pacing absurdly sluggish. The music didn't help the story at all, in fact it was downright annoying at times. The shots were clumsy and to be honest it wouldn't surprise me if this was made on some sort of smart phone or similar. Unfortunately I can't say anything redemptive about this or I'd be lying.

I'm not usually a reviewer here but I was reading a couple of the reviews and wondered if I'd seen the same Movie!The politics in this were pretty even handed: everyone's a bit morally suspect - except for the idealistic conservative senator who's gives really great speech about conservative values without being a raging fascist. I'd vote for him over the current crop of lunatics, anyway.Adrian Grenier plays a totally believable Machiavelli - but thats got nothing to do with his politics. It was refreshing to see a film that DIDNT embrace the usual left wing tropes, even if it paid lip service to some of them.Politics aside, I really enjoyed it. A nice variety of characters you don't often see (Mimi Rogers as a sexually actively older woman in the vein of Lady Macbeth just kills it!) and the last 30 minutes or so really is a thrill ride. Pretty much al l the acting was great.Technically the film looked and sounded great; I'd love to see it in a theater. If I have to pick a negative the music didn't do much for me and there were a couple of scenes where I felt they were a bit short of extras - but at this point I feel like I'm quibbling.

Pretty good and steamy political drama. But as usual anything coming from Hollywood the movie leans Left and the corrupt and conniving characters in the film are actively a conservative belonging to a third way, quasi-Republican political party called, the United Party. However the movie steers away from hammering rhetoric and instead revolves on the characters and their actions which is quite decent and surprising considering the reactions and political climate we are in today in the United States.
