Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 100.00/100.00
One of those rare movies where you leave the theater having been surprised and entertained, and then start arguing.
michaelsreposit 9.00/10.00
Politics and only politics. This movie had no drama outside of what was relevant to the political intrigue. All the performances were well done, and like always, Gary Oldman's performance stood out.
Bob Graham · San Francisco Chronicle 75.00/100.00
Thoroughly engrossing.
