Sarah Palin (Julianne Moore) is portrayed as a complete idiot who's great at playing fast and loose with facts. It's very much a two dimensional portrait. Everybody else gets a pass. All the advisers are dumbfounded by her idiocy. John McCain (Ed Harris) is an honorable man who was forced by a losing campaign to dabble in the dark side. All of it would ring true to the political left, and a gotcha journalism to the right. Although the book seems to be deeply well-researched.
As for the acting, Julianne Moore does a good job mimicking. Ed Harris seems to bring a more substantial presence to John McCain. It also stars Woody Harrelson and Sarah Paulson. I do wish for a more 3 dimensional Sarah Palin character. It does look like a movie made by people who talk to and about Sarah Palin rather than anything insightful from Sarah Palin herself.
