Memorable quote:
Tom Duffy: Get out, now. Or otherwise...
Stephen Meyers: Otherwise, I'll end up like you?
Tom Duffy: Yeah, you end up being a jaded, cynical asshole, just like me.
What?
We find ourselves in the primaries for the presidential election, where Gosling is the head strategies for Clooney, and will do everything it takes to win the election. It shows us the constant struggle the political candidates undergo to come up on the upper hand at the end! Let the games begin!
Yes?
This movie isn't for everyone. All those political games, the whole political world isn't interesting normally but the beauty of this movie is that it becomes interesting. The scandals, the lies and betrayals become essential when they are on the background of political campaigns. To make all this political bullshit interesting, this is the actual strength of the movie. Even though the race isn't for the President in this movie at least, it becomes fascinating to see how everything is connected. The story just works!
Then we have the amazing actors here, sometimes you have great actors and a bad script so it’s just a waste and vice versa. In this case we have both great actors and a great story. Gosling, is an up and coming hero I would say, I see a big future for him. Seymour has the gift that he just can adapt himself to the part he got and acts the crap out of it. Clooney had his good moments here and there and then we have Giamatti who I'm just a big fan of.
No?
The ending is good in one way, even though I wanted something else. A lot of people at the movies didn't believe this actually was the ending, but it was. Let's call it open ended with a possible forecast. A lot of people don't like this.
At some points in the movie there is a lack of flow, nothing is happening, which then you need to work hard to stay focused so you won't miss the actual good parts, let's say you have some run pee moments.
Well...
This was a good movie, I liked it and you can even watch it at the movies. Definitely not for everyone, if you aren't interested at all in politics this won't be for you, if you only want explosions it won't be for you either. I liked it! Because of all the above I grade this...
Grade: 7.5
