The only person I recognized was James Gandolfini and be it bias toward his role of Tony Soprano carrying over or what, who cares? He was awesome. I can't say I am for better or worse with this one. There is no real set/action candy, it is all dialogue and that dialogue or script is really good. Ah heck, I guess I did come away with something and that would be (albeit most probably a fictional item) a possible reason as to why nothing worthwhile seems to get done or come out of Washington D.C.
Hmm, the plot, what the heck was the plot..oh yeah. A bumbling British politician is elected (translation: bathed in meat tenderizer) and put into political office (translation: vat of starved sharks) where he ignorantly picks a scab. The rest of the movie does slices of life of all those around him who are affected, have to support him, stop him, use him, etc.
This would be a great movie for the Michael Cera type college student eager to impress a first date into thinking that he is an intellectual who actually seeks films of this type. Not my cup of tea, but it was okay.
