Silver City (2004)
7/10
Funny satire on Bush
30 April 2006
A complex web of influence and corruption, involving high stakes lobbyists, media conglomerates, environmental plunderers, and undocumented migrant workers. Sound familiar? It should as it is a story ripped from the headlines. Chris Cooper stars a a bumbling politician who is a tool of these interests in Silver City. Cooper could not a better impersonation of GW if her was in his skin.

The real star of the film is Danny Houston of The Constant Gardener, who will be joining birthday girl, Kirsten Dunst later this year in Marie-Antoinette. He plays a failed reporter that stumbles on all the twists that start with a dead migrant.

Of course, we have the ever lovely Maria Bello and a great performance by Darryl Hannah. All in all an enjoyable satire.
