I love Paul Newman's work and have seen most of his films. When I saw the cast for this one I figured I had stumbled upon a jewel. Wrong. Newman is good for what he has to do, but the story and plot are confusing and empty. This was one of the first movies for Newman's new production company - and perhaps he became too absorbed in those details and the story got away.

My advice - don't bother.

I enjoyed this movie. It has an excellent cast and offers an interesting, if somewhat cynical, insight into "spin doctoring" that has become the centre of politics in the last decade. The back and forth between the DeNiro team and the Presidential hopeful - the war is over, no it's not - makes for an interesting storyline.
