A young press spokesman (Ryan Gosling) falls prey to backroom politics, the treacherous manipulations of veteran operatives and seduction by a young intern (Evan Rachel Wood) while working for a Governor Morris (George Clooney), a candidate running in the presidential primary race for the Democratic Party ticket.
Based on the play Farragut North by Beau Willimon.
compelling and entertaining story held together by great performances. the ending wasn't impressive.
originally was going to give this movie a rating of 2 but after reading some of the reviews i gave it a 3. true the acting was good but the movie was long, boring and ending worst!
