Writer and director Rod Lurie brilliantly explores the issues of morality and double standards amongst others in this riveting political thriller about a female contender for the position of the Vice President. He cleverly goes where you want a film like this to go to explore issues beyond face value and that plagues the political system in the US. Joan Allen, Gary Oldman and Jeff Bridges give powerful performances that makes this film a delight to watch. An equally great supporting cast makes this film standout amongst its kind.
