The Ides of March



I'm on the fence. Great acting, excellent story, but it does deal with the snake like characters of politics, which I despise. Which on one hand I've seen way to much in real life, but on the other hand is great timing for this movie. You have to pay attention to this movie. The dialog is fast and chaotic and mainly revolves around campaign teams and the strategies. The 2nd act gets into it's groove and becomes more than a political machine. It gets into characters, and slowly reveals the true nature of people. The 3rd act goes fast displays secrets and in my mind is what the movie was designed to due. Keep you glued. The last minute of the film will either make you say WTF or awesome. I say awesome.

I recommend. Get past the 100% political staging and into the meat of the movie and I think you'll enjoy this.
