The Ides of March

☆☆☆☆

+
Based on the play “Farragut North” by Beau Willimon, “The Ides of March” is the smart and engaging story of Mike Morris (George Clooney… director and co-writer as well) a liberal thinking politician vying for the Democratic nomination for president.

Ryan Gosling gives a solid performance as Stephen Meyers…Morris’ campaign press secretary who ends-up in a political scandal that threatens their White House hopes.

Excellent cast: Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, Jeffrey Wright, and Evan Rachel Wood
_

People talk about the surprising political corruption depicted in this film…if anything it’s a mild look at the real thing.

“Ides…” doesn't quite reach the level of excitement that it should.


Rated R
1 hr. 38 min.
