Director : George Clooney
Running Time : 102 mins
Stephen Meyers (Gosling) works as a junior campaign manager for Governor Mike Morris (Clooney) and believes in the ideals of the American way, but when he meets a campaign intern, Molly Stearns (Clooney), who is secretly pregnant by Morris, he starts to question his ideals and beliefs, and begins to change his tactics when it comes to making his mark in the political circus.
This is a well paced and effective movie that cleverly shows how Meyers goes from idealistic political wannabe to a disillusioned man who ends up getting what he has always wanted through lying and deceit. Clooney is good as the dodgy politician, and Hoffman manages a sterling turn as the by the books campaign manager that ends up losing out by playing the game too well. Fans of political movies will enjoy this subtle thriller, and Clooney does a great job in his return to the directors chair.
