Definitely a 'tour de force' for Al Pacino, but with very effective cameos from Kim and Tia. A rather implausible thriller in that these men of power should have found the camera easily, but as a drama of a defeated liberal trying to make one last attempt to climb out of the swamp it is much more effective. Load up on your caffeine as you'll need to fight off Eli's tiredness as he stumbles through the New York night.
