Reviews
Brian Lowry wrote in Variety magazine on May 19, 2008 that the film was "smart and star-studded." He offers "another fine-tuned representation" by Kevin Spacey. Tom Wilkinson manages to portray the embodied character of James Baker in the relatively limited time “elegant, avaricious, unscrupulous and brilliant” .
“The exciting film takes up the events in a mixture of fiction and documents, whereby it focuses on the chief strategists of the election campaigners and their tough struggle. Well played, it oscillates between drama and ironic satire, does not take sides directly, but names tricks, mistakes and mishaps of both camps. "
