Long story short, there's almost no conservative vs. liberal politics--maybe 10 seconds total just for show--which was mystifying since crisis exploitation has openly become the Democrat brand. In fact there's a documentary of the same name from 10 years ago, featuring James Carville--the obvious model for Billy Bob Thornton's character. It's all about the corruption and dirty tricks of the election process on both sides...here and there. To put it in contemporary American terms, it's all about the establishment vying within itself for who's going to rake in the biggest part of the graft pie--which I can identify with completely. The cheesy moments were scarce and the production had overall good quality. Action, of course was lacking except for the bus racing scene. And for the record (anybody else who sees this) please validate my opinion that Bullock's ass double was a man, maybe even Clooney which would fit with her being in talks to do his part in a female version of Ocean's Eleven.) Ain't life a hoot.
I expected this to be a 3, but 7/10This and Burnt sort of reaffirms my belief that Fall is the best time of year to look for diamonds in the horror rough. Yeah 7/10's not that great, but it's an out of the box thought piece which are becoming more and more rare.
