      Kelsey Wallace Bitch Media Morris and Meyers may have treated Stearns as disposable, but the filmmakers shouldn't have, and we as viewers shouldn't have to either. Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Real shame about the ending, but the rest of the movie is just marvelous. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service George Clooney's latest civics lesson as actor and director, is a down and dirty politics-behind-closed-doors tale...brilliantly acted Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 6, 2013 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson While the acting looks good on posters, sells tickets, and brings people in, the movie's every-evolving chess match of political dealings, secrets, twists, and double-crosses will keep you talking about it after you leave. Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review tt stern-enzi Cincinnati CityBeat Clooney isn’t some coastal liberal elite shoving his highbrow progressive bona-fides down our throats; he’s reminding us that he learned these principles right here and continues to wave that banner for all the world to see.
