The Ides of March 2011

The Ides
 of March (2011)    This an adaptation of Beau Willimon's play Faragut North, Stephen Meyers is an idealistic deputy campaign manager for Governor Mike Morris.  Mike is in a major political battle in Ohio that could lead to the Democratic presidential nomination.  The opposing candidate's campaign manager offers Stephen a job on their team.  He feels he needs to tell his boss Paul about the offer.
    Good acting, battling between Clooney, Gosling, Giamatti, Hoffman.  You wonder what would happen after the movie ends, if it continued on and all the pieces are picked up?  You want to hit some of the people!!  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
   
101 min, Drama directed by George Clooney with Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, George Clooney, Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei, Jeffrey Wright.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 7.3 out of 10, 85% critic 75% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
