Review of The Ides of March (2011) by Khunter4382 — 23 Jan 2012

The performances are all good as one can imagine with a cast such as this....probably four of this era's best actors. This film hits in the spots that most political dramas neglect to focus upon. To be honest, I felt this film was a shade too short.

.....what it does, it does well. However, with the acting chops present on screen, and a super-fiery plot that never really materializes into something "super-fiery", we are left with wanting more.

I suppose that's where Clooney wants us to remain, but that doesn't make it a spectacular film.
