| Summary |
Academy Award nominee George Clooney (Director, Good night and good luck, 2005) directs a brilliant all-star cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Jeffrey Wright in this enthralling political thriller where ambition seduces and power corrupts. In the tradition of movie classics The candidate, Advise and consent and The best man, Clooney plays presidential candidate Governor Mike Morris whose ground-breaking ideas could change the political landscape. Idealistic campaign worker Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling - Drive) has sworn to give his all for Morris; however when a brutal Ohio primary threatens to test the Governor's integrity, Stephen gets trapped in the down-and-dirty battle. He also finds himself caught up in a scandal involving a young intern (Evan Rachel Wood - The wrestler) - and realises his only path to survival is to play both sides |
