Full Plot Details

Jack Burden is a newspaper reporter who first hears of Willie Stark when his editor sends him to Kanoma County to cover the man. What's special about this nobody running for county treasurer? He's supposedly an honest man. Burden discovers this to be true when he sees Stark delivering a speech and having his son pass out handbills, while the local politicians do their best to intimidate him. Willie Stark is honest and brave. He's also a know-nothing hick whose schoolteacher wife has given him what little education he has. Stark loses the race for treasurer, but later makes his way through law school, becoming an idealistic attorney who fights for what is good. Someone in the governor's employ remembers Stark when the governor needs a patsy to run against him and split the vote of his rival. The fat cats underestimate Stark; but Jack Burden, Stark's biggest supporter, overestimates the man's idealism. To get where he wants to go, Willie Stark is willing to crack a few eggs - which include his tough-talking assistant, Sadie Burke; Jack's poised and elegant fiancée, Anne Stanton; and even Jack Burden himself.

Movie Reviews

EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderIf it weren't for the fact that the movie isn't very good, it would probably stand a chance of fulfilling its transparent Oscar dreams.
New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottNothing in the picture works. It is both overwrought and tedious, its complicated narrative bogging down in lyrical voiceover, long flashbacks and endless expository conversations between people speaking radically incompatible accents.
CinePassion - 9/10 by Fernando F. CroceStatic and dreary, drained of juice and drenched in "respectable" lighting
Groucho Reviews - 9/10 by Peter CanaveseZaillian sells short the faceoff of shrewd old guard and scrappy proletariat by looking away just when the twain meet.
Nick's Flick Picks - 8/10 by Nick DavisPlays as a veritable autopsy of itself; to watch the movie is to watch it go wrong, to observe the tempting gleam of the film that might have been grow ever dimmer.
AV Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayThe movie's more damnable problem is it irrelevance.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 8/10 by Rob ThomasThe fact that it falls short of the greatness it so obviously strives for doesn't mean it isn't a good film.
Salon.com - 8/10 by Stephanie ZacharekBoth the performance and the movie around it are virtually incomprehensible.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyA misfire, this remake is marred by misconception of Warren's novel, inexplicable shift of time frame from 1930s to 1950s, glamorous but unsuitable cast (mostly British), glitzy but incongruent style for story of corrupt politicos in sweaty Louisiana
Cinema em Cena - 8/10 by Pablo VillaçaMesmo que não o comparemos ao clássico de 49, este filme constrange pelo roteiro confuso, pela montagem artificial, pelas atuações decepcionantes e pela trilha excessiva, salvando-se apenas a bela fotografia.
