An insightful film leaving you with much to think about
28 September 1998
This is a superb film providing a very interesting glimpse into the political process. The film is very well written and acted. The performance by Travolta was excellent from the mannerisms to the accent. The only real flaw in the film is the lack of character development of the Henry Burton character. Normally this might not be a problem as the movie really is centered around Jack Stanton (Travolta). The problem is that we are seeing the events through Burton's eyes. It becomes disconcerting when Burton moves from the woman he is involved with at the movie's start, to being sexually involved with campaign aide Daisy, to being alone. Other than that this is a movie that should be seen.
