Mark Wahlberg Academy Award nomination coming and Love that Kate Mara and of course Bush references

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2007)

We start all of our reviews with the following information. My wife and I have seen nearly 100 movies per year for the past 15 years. Recently, we were honored by receiving lifetime movie passes to any movie any time at no cost! So we can see whatever we want whenever we want. The point of this is that CRITICS count for ZERO. Your local critics or the national critics like Ebert are really no different than you or me. The only difference is that they get to write about the movie and are forced to see hundreds of movies whether they want to or not.Therefore, it is our belief that if you get your monies worth for two hours of enjoyment that is good enough for us! We NEVER EVER listen or read the critics. We only care about our friends and those who we know like the same things as us. Well enough about that.
Wow. Mark Wahlberg is spectacular and the movie is outstanding. From start to finish we get a glimse into the real world of politics in Washington DC. Never know who is telling the truth. It is shades of the Bush Administraton with a couple of very good digs at them. Kate Mara is gorgeous and a rising star. Don't miss it. Action packed from the minute it starts to the very end.
