The performances were excellent by all, the story holds you in it's grip, the end was very satisfying. To those that claimed conservatives were not likely to enjoy this, I have to argue the point. Center stage is given to one political issue that can and should be backed by all whether they lean to the left or right. Sure other issues are touched on along the way, but it's a film about the world of politics - politicians have views. I certainly don't agree with them all, but that's the reality of it. This movie would have lost much of it's strength if the character's dialog had been watered down in an effort not to offend anyones political views. Sadly you are missing the point and a great entertaining and again I say "satisfying" moment if you get stuck criticizing each political view presented.
This is not a heavy documentary or historical piece that need be torn apart for it's realism or accuracy, but rather a gripping story making an excellent point about what should be up for discussion and what should not.
As for the reviewer that suggested a similarity between the courageous, principled Senator who became the victim in this story and Hilary Clinton I just have to say that once you get past their outstanding fashion sense, that is where all similarity between them ends.
