1/4

Director Eric Bross's Affairs of State is a political thriller that plays like an adaptation of a trashy romance novel.

In an era when so many indies are either genre exercises or quirky dramedies, a well-acted, ripped-from-the-headlines melodrama is a novelty.

If the movie were self-aware enough to understand its true nature as glorious direct-to-video junk, it would look a whole lot less pretty, but its lurid cheap thrills would be more thrilling and lurid.

A gripping, provocative and refreshingly unpredictable political thriller.

AMAZING! They predicted what was coming before it came. You have to watch this twice, AT LEAST.

Excellent show, gripping with a big twist towards the end.

What a bad movie! So poorly directed, miscast, and badly acted. We were shocked that a film with 88% audience approval (though no critic's ratings as of yet) could be so laughably bad. No chemistry between the romantic leads, no effort to establish their relationship, kinda icky plot, and choppy editing. I'd like to get back these 97 minutes of my life. It got so we were laughing at the monosyllabic mutters and pouty stares off into the distance, so at least it was kinda funny.
