Full Plot Details

If a political candidate is personally flawed, but stands to make a positive difference in millions of lives, would you help him win? That question looms over the life of "true believer" Paul Turner (Rob Lowe), a savvy strategist sharply maneuvering politicians out of scandal and into public office. With the help of a bright young assistant (Jamie Chung) and a seedy operative (Richard Schiff), Turner spins every news cycle and a shrewd reporter (Julie Bowen) on behalf of his clients: a philandering Kentucky governor (Eric McCormick), a blackmailed California senator (David Harbour), and an idealistic doctor turned gubernatorial candidate (Carrie-Anne Moss). When the ugly side of Turner's work begins to haunt him, he learns that even in the bloodiest of battles, sometimes you have to fight clean.

Movie Reviews

Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfA mixed bag, offering a few winning performances and moments of revelation, while the rest scatters aimlessly, in search of structure director Bill Guttentag doesn't provide.
Observer - 9/10 by Rex ReedAs a bare-knuckle assault on the corruption that has come to define the creeping rot of American politics, Knife Fight is neither as satirical as Barry Levinson's "Wag the Dog" nor as incisive and wrenching as George Clooney's "The Ides of March," but it's a noble, shocking and inspired film worthy of attention.
SSG Syndicate - 7/10 by Susan GrangerCynical and savvy, it's a small film with a big message about the ends justifying the means.
Christian Science Monitor - 7/10 by Peter RainerIt pales beside the best down-and-dirty political movies (ranging from "The Candidate" to "The Manchurian Candidate") because, finally, it lacks the courage of its own lowdown convictions.
Shared Darkness - 6/10 by Brent SimonA fun, tack-sharp political drama with satirical underpinnings, buoyed by crisp characterizations.
NPR - 5/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisPlaying like a mashup of tropes from far superior small- and large-screen entertainments (Scandal, House of Lies, Ides of March), this clunky feature from Bill Guttentag is satire at its most soft-bellied and toadying.
Portland Oregonian - 5/10 by Marc MohanIt's a forgettable series of bullet points barely strung together by charismatic performances.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Frank ScheckAims to be a cutting-edge portrait of cutthroat political machinations. But it's a mostly toothless affair that, like so many of our current political figures, proves alienating.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThough everyone's intentions seem honorable, this limp political satire overshoots its targets almost every time.
Film Journal International - 4/10 by David NohSmart, brisk political satire, so smoothly done and performed that it overrides certain weaknesses and a climactic sentimental face change.
