This film will make a Democrat out of you..if you're gullible

Rating: 3/10 (11 November 1999)

Although I had seen this film before, it's recent comparison to "The Insider" made me give it another look. I'm sorry I did. Ultra-tight political filmmaking, to be sure, and an excellent view into the workings of the press vs. power game, but it is without any REAL, tangible firepower. It's hard not to feel left-leaning vibes in this, which turns half (or more) of the population off, but more importantly, it lacks a patient director's eye. Fortunately, justice has a lovely way of revealing itself, from the looks of things, the superior film "the insider" will EASILY unseat "...Presidents Men" as the political thriller of the century in the IMDB top 250.....
