Warning: Spoilers
This is a fictional account of the upcoming 2024 election. The setting borrows from our current state of affairs. The nation is in a recession and post pandemic. One party promotes rage while the whines about it and nothing gets done. Nate Sterling (John Cena) is an Olympic gold medalist who has written a common sense manifesto. He is running as a major third party candidate against the sitting Democrat and a woman Republican senator from Tennessee (Ann Dowd pretending to be Kathy Bates). At the Washington Chronicle (looks like the Post in "All the President's Men"), newbie Elisha James (Jodie Turner-Smith) is working with senior writer and columnist Nicolas Booker ( Brian Cox) covering the campaigns. Elisha suspects the Republican may be moving funds from the Lotto to their own campaign, robbing schools of funding. Elsiha's boyfriend (Luke Kirby) works for Nate Sterling and there is too much pillow talk going on.

This was a nice paced film and a good political drama reminding me too much of real political drama. The "Country over Politics" political sign sounds like the Lincoln Foundation.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
