Review of The Ides of March (2011) by Tyler S — 10 Apr 2016
An excellent, taut political thriller, starring two acting heavyweights in Ryan Gosling and George Clooney. This movie is all about politic power and the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. All corruption, all scandals taking place and we see it first hand.
Clooney is running for office, Gosling is his main campaign manager, an up and coming talent who is confident in what he is doing.
When he gets caught up communicating with the rival side, it leads down a dangerous path that is so fun to watch unravel on screen.
It's one of those movies that goes by so fast due to the effectiveness of the storytelling, and the believability of the actors to due what they are paid the big bucks to do.
Loved Clooney and Gosling here, they just kicked so much tail.
A good look at political corruption, and the dangers that can happen behind the scenes.
Seymour-Hoffman is also fantastic here. An A List cast.
