Starring Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymor Hoffman, Evan Rachel Wood
Oh Ryan Gosling, it's you again. Doing another round eh?
A warning to George Clooney at this point. Not all political dramas are gripping. So don't stick them all the time. This is the proof.
With a campaign trail for a presidential candidate, Stephen Meyers is on the road to success. Until a can of worms is opened and lots of nastiness and dirty play is brought out.
There's not much else to this film. At the end I had to question myself whether anything happened or not. Still not sure.
All right so Gosling is gorgeous and Clooney is charismatic. Hoffman and Giamatti are the American thespian actors and the story has all the markings of what tugs strings at the Academy. But for me, there was nothing to excite me. The story felt bland and if I'm honest, I wasn't sure anything was actually resolved.
Feels like how Jerry Maguire felt. Only in politics.
3/5
