Title: Well done and thought-provoking
Review: I should have known that any movie with George Clooney portraying a politician would generate immediate and rabid negativity from some conservatives who see him as a big part of the Hollywood liberal elite.Their non-reviews aside, Ides of March is a pretty good movie. It is paced well, the acting is good (especially Ryan Gosling) and the plot, while predictable, draws you in. It's about political treachery, ambition, and the ugliness therein, but more than that it speaks to the fallibility of all of us, to our naiveté, and to the battle within our hearts and minds between cynicism and hope. It reminds me a bit of All The King's Men in that respect.This is a movie that is well done but moreover has a larger point to be made. Despite what those who hate George Clooney, er, I mean the movie will write in their reviews, Ides of March is not a liberal propaganda film masquerading as a suspenseful political drama. It is a taut and thought-provoking movie for our times.
