The Ides of March
Director: George Clooney
Starring: Ryan Gosling (Stephen Meyers), George Clooney (Governor Mike Morris), Paul Giamatti (Tom Duffy), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Paul Zara)
Idealistic press secretary, Stephen Meyers (Gosling), believes in playing fair and by the rules. During the middle of the Ohio primary, however, his job is at stake, a scandal has surfaced, and Meyers is thrusted into the kill or be killed world that is dirty politics.
Is it worth seeing? Yes. The movie takes twists and turns, leaving you on the edge of your seat. And these suspenseful moments are not built around mind-numbing, action-packed sequences. No. Actually, there is no violence whatsoever. This is a look inside the world of politics, and it is haunting to say the very least.
