There were some good moments of acting & dialogue in this one, but there was so much forced plotline eye-rolling preposterousness, it just couldn’t squeeze through my “come on!” filter. Key to the whole thing – one guy meets with his political enemy, and his boss can’t get over it? They only met. And nothing was kept secret. Meeting someone is a sin? That’s ridiculous… any campaigner who is so petty about stuff like this is surely doomed.
Another thing about movies like this – with made-up politicians… I find it really hard to suspend my disbelief with these movies, because I’m continuously reminded that I’m watching a movie with a bunch of actors. I know the reality of the political situation too well.
