Director-star George Clooney's The Ides of March will be the perfect film to mirror our time, once the approval rating with the United states of america Congress is with an all-time low and also the divisions between the two major parties and their constituents are wider than ever. Everyone'll have some sort of nit to choose with this particular rather self-serious film. Right-wingers won't just like the fact that the central politician (Clooney's Governor Mike Morris of Pennsylvania, who's running for president) is often a liberal Democrat who advocates raising taxes about the rich, supports a woman's to choose, and might be an atheist ("My religion is the Constitution."). But the Left won't be thrilled through the notion that even among the most seemingly high-minded, the desire for victory as well as the behind-the-scenes maneuverings and compromises made to realize it easily trump quaint notions like loyalty and integrity, and secrets are similar to bullets to be fired at close range, where they are able to do essentially the most damage. The backdrop could be the Ohio Democratic primary, a decent race between Morris as well as a senator from Arkansas. Both candidates have smart, able folks working for them, with Morris's world-weary campaign manager, Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman), and idealistic press secretary, Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling), countered with the opponent's shrewd campaign leader, Tom Duffy (Paul Giamatti). But smart people get some things wrong too, then when Stephen meets semi-publicly with Duffy, who efforts to lure the kid onto his side, he opens a can of worms which has a stink that leads to some very dark places; nor does his dalliance using a young campaign volunteer (Evan Rachel Wood) come out to become an excellent idea, to the least. With Marisa Tomei (as a reporter) and Jeffrey Wright (as an Ohio senator whose endorsement may decide the race) also along for that ride, this really is one of the best-cast movies in recent memory, and they are all excellent--especially the ever-reliable Giamatti and Hoffman, whose old political vets incorporate some wonderfully juicy scenes. The dialogue is literate and sharp; the story's twists and turns are, to the most part, surprising enough to keep you within your seat. Best of all, it's another opportunity to shake our fists with the hubris and cynicism from the people who're supposed to become representing healthy interests. --Sam Graham

Ambition seduces and power corrupts in a very nerve-wracking thriller from Academy Award® nominated director George Clooney (Good Night, and Good Luck). Idealistic campaign worker Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) has sworn to offer all for Governor Mike Morris (Clooney), a wild card presidential candidate whose groundbreaking ideas could affect the political landscape. However, a brutal Ohio primary threatens to test Morris's integrity. Stephen gets trapped within the down-and-dirty battle and finds himself swept up in the scandal where the only road to survival is to play both sides. The all-star cast includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.
