Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 7/10 by Paul AttanasioBefore it turns slack and sentimental, "Power," Sidney Lumet's foray into the world of political consultants, crackles with a kind of moral static.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Dave KehrThere is little of the gratuitous hysteria that usually mars Lumet's work, and David Himmelstein's busy script keeps things moving, though at the price of losing track of a couple of significant subplots.
User Review - 10/10 by Cassie HI really enjoyed this movie. Excellent actors and a great storyline. That's what I look for in a movie :)
User Review - 8/10 by Tom KThis is one of the moview I own & take out to watch every so often. Richard Gere CAN act. Just watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Shawn WLumet is trying hard to do to the world of political campaign organizers what his "Network" did to television news. It exudes the same authenticity and research but lacks the coalescence provided by a stellar plot.
User Review - 8/10 by Robert BA very underrated and realistic political drama that features a superb cast. One of the more under appreciated political films out there. The film could have been great had there been more character development for the main players.
User Review - 6/10 by Mahmoud OIntersting story about politics and media in the american political system
User Review - 6/10 by Sheldon RGood look at the corrupt political scene and the media. Star cast and intriguing plot if you like to just watch a lot of people talk. The helicopter / horse scene is the best scene in the film.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DAs a movie for the general public, this is probalby more like a 2-star. I have to give it 3 because I appreciate the sheer amount of conviction that the script appears to have on it's subject. Very researched, very realistic, and though boring in parts to most, for media/P.R. people this must ring fairly true. The moral of the story seems to come very late and is overshadowed by the rest of the story. It seems to be dedicated to it's subject and there's some good actors/acting in this one.
User Review - 6/10 by Reuben PThe main problem is that the first half is unfocused.
