Politics is a dirty biz. What a ride.
EXCELLENT ACTING! plus idk y rated "r" they had few curse words but other than that nothing bad.
There’s not too much that is new in this story about dishonest politicians. Nevertheless, “The Ides of March” has a good cast and script.
All things considered, a decent political scandal piece co-written and directed by Clooney. It gathered more interest from me as the story developed with some suspenseful plot twists. Giamatti, Seymour Hoffman, Tomei, (and George too), were all on their game. Clooney even put Chris Matthews and Charlie Rose on the payroll for a little authenticity. I found (find) Ryan 'Sapling' transparent and dull. Ditto for bimbette Evan Rachel Wood. "Et tu, Brute?"
I was expecting so much more from this. Just a mediocre script, barely holding the film together. Rachel Wood is appropriately last named, she is a two dimensional actor. And I couldn't believe that someone wouldn't have chemistry with Ryan Gosling! And I will not give anything away, but the twists and turns are barely bends.
This one is watchable but nothing special. The acting is okay but the story is not very interesting so I don't recommend it.
THis movie is not a novel one or unique in any way but it spoke to me and a particular quality i have with people places and things. Some may say that Ryan's character was naive and maybe he was but it shouldn't have a negative skew. He believed wholeheartedly in George's character and that was his downfall. Maybe all of us can learn something from Gosling's character in that we are naive in some way or another. Our perceptions of people and their "power" and "personality" and "character" may or may not be what really IS.
The plot is a bit thin as a political thriller and the turns of events evolved without more intrigue ... it might have happened during the early 90's, before 9/11 and without social networks and smartphones.
entertaining but not important
