Review of Wag the Dog (1997) by Carlos R — 18 Sep 2011
Boring and bad directed film that had good intentions initially, but there are no interesting moments enough to bring some life into this film. I didn't even like Hoffman and De Niro's performances in this film. They wasted their talents in this silly film. The plot's premise is interesting and definitely it could have been developed much better, but scene after scene it was becoming more absurd and pointless. The only things I liked about it were the small roles that Kirsten Dunst and Woody Harrelson had. Anne Heche wasn't bad either, but the film definitely doesn't work. It lacks soul, magic... it didn't captivate me at all in any moment.
Really overrated movie. I really don't understand why almost everybody liked it. It was supposed to be a political satire, but it was a stupid movie pretending to be a political satire. It was completely aimlessly.
