Full Plot Details

Set against the backdrop of a mythic "New West," a satire that follows grammatically-challenged, "user-friendly" candidate Dicky Pilager, scapegrace scion of Colorado's venerable Senator Jud Pilager, during his gubernatorial campaign. When Pilager finds that he's reeled in a corpse during the taping of an environmental political ad, his ferocious campaign manager, Chuck Raven, hires former idealistic journalist turned rumpled private detective Danny O'Brien to investigate potential links between the corpse and the Pilager family's enemies. Danny's investigation pulls him deeper and deeper into a complex web of influence and corruption, involving high stakes lobbyists, media conglomerates, environmental plunderers, and undocumented migrant workers.

Movie Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Steven ReaEssentially a series of walking character sketches. The storytelling is slack and lackluster, the cliches rampant.
Boston Herald - 10/10 by Paul ShermanSayles fails to turn his Moore-like outrage over the state of the nation into entertaining or interesting fiction.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittLeaving aside Huston's bland acting and a few other flaws, Sayles's politically charged drama raises a rousing number of issues and ideas, inviting us to ponder them and draw our own conclusions.
Film Scouts - 9/10 by Jason GorberA simple talking, funny-accented greying conservative politician is shown to be a moron.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzToo close to reality to be effective as satire.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe movie's strength, then, is not in its outrage, but in its cynicism and resignation.
Philadelphia Weekly - 9/10 by Sean BurnsMan, it's tough sitting through a satire made by somebody with no sense of humor -- welcome to Talking Points: The Movie.
ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliThat Sayles is able to say these things in the context of a compelling story with well-defined characters makes this one of the early fall triumphs of 2004.
Houston Chronicle - 8/10 by Eric HarrisonSilver City has a detective plot, important themes, clever lines and a passel of intriguing characters, but they're not put together in a way that holds your interest.
About.com - 8/10 by Marcy DermanskyAs insightful and biting as Michael Moore’s "Fahrenheit 9/11."
