Review of The Front Runner (2018) by Peter Rainer for Christian Science Monitor — 09 Nov 2018
Jackman, sporting a distracting, Hart-like brown hairpiece, seems miscast. He doesn’t convincingly convey this politician’s swagger and slickness, and Reitman’s attempts to mimic a loose-limbed political movie in the style of, say, Robert Altman’s “Tanner '88” series or “The Candidate” are rather leaden.
It’s a film that’s less interesting to watch than to discuss afterward.
