Given that it's a Hollywood film starring George Clooney and about a Democratic presidential primary race I wondered if the film would sugar coat the Democrats. I don't think it does.

I was looking forward to this movie, based on previews that I had seen while watching other movies. Honestly, not what I expected. The storyline is flat and doesn't really go anywhere. Little character development and not all lose ends are…

The plot is a bit thin as a political thriller and the turns of events evolved without more intrigue ... it might have happened during the early 90's, before 9/11 and without social networks and smartphones.
