I rated it low because it was really boring. I hate anything to do with politics, and the movie just seemed to go for a long time with nothing happening. While I'm not into movies where there's stuff exploding every second and no plot, I also don't like movies that are about nothing and nothing ever happens. Which is why I don't like dramas either.

I didn't think much of the acting, besides James Stewart, who is one of my favourite actors and is awesome in everything, and Claude Rains.

The main problem I have with older movies is the dialogue because it sounds so fake. Being born in 1991, hearing people speak like "oh golly gosh", it just seems stupid and unreal.

But anyway, like I said I was bored all the way through but this is due to a plot which I have no interest in, and honestly, I don't understand anything about politics.
