Hermione P Oct 24, 2018 Wow, I'm surprised how low this was rate. I quite enjoyed it

Poe R Sep 18, 2018 Probably a very common, hidden issue in real life politics, which is why it was interesting to me. The main character grew more and more unlikable for me as the movie went on, which made me hope for a different ending than what they gave. But oh well. My two stars is mostly due to the ending.

Finn R Apr 25, 2017 The movie is actually ok. It has quite a good twist at the ending which makes the film better. However it sells itself as a political thriller but is actually just a movie about a guy with a sex addiction. I must admit after watching it it is largely forgettable. See more

Abraham G Feb 14, 2017 Giving up it completely does not erase the ugly side. It's a funny title for a serious film. I have heard the film was loosely based on a real scandal. This is the story of a federal prosecutor whose life has been decent until he becomes addicted to the escort service. As his wife is pushing him for entering the politics, on the other side, he's unable to come out of his new habit. The time comes when both these things can't go together, he has to pick the side and that brings the end to the tale. Really an interesting story aspect, but slightly I was not happy with how it was presented on the screen. Though the characters were excellent and the perfect executions by its actors. Patrick Wilson was good, even in a small screenspace Lena Headey excelled. The other characters influenced quite strongly in the film. Like their intentions over the film events which played a major twist in the storytelling. The people can go any length to achieve the bigger thing is the one of the main messages of the film. The theme was strong, but there were some weaker spots in the narrations. Although, an acceptable and enjoyable film. The end was totally unexpected, but unbelievably not that smart from the character's perspective. Surely an average film, but definitely not a bad or an awesome film. Its about the scandal of a high profile figure or at least trying to be, though everything were told from a single angle. So I hope you watch it and give an honest opinion than going against it from even before the start just because everybody already doing that. 6/10 See more

Kylo W Jan 5, 2017 Review: This is another one of those movies, we're the main character seems like he has it all! Sam Ellis (Patrick Wilson) is a highly ranked political figure, whose future looks extremely bright, and with the backing of his loving wife, Jeannie (Lena Headey), there really is no stopping this rising political star. After taking on a case against a exclusive escort agency, he starts to delve deeper into there undercover service, after Jeannie goes away with there young child with her father. He then decides to try out there service, and he soon becomes addicted to hiring escorts, and using there services in seedy hotel rooms. The higher he goes up the political ladder, the more dangerous his addiction becomes and his wife starts to get suspicious about his weird behaviour. With the escort agency under investigation by the FBI, and a family friend, Coaker (Ray Winstone) threatens to expose his secret life, and it all becomes a bit too much for Sam, who is due for a big promotion. This movie really does show how these politicians can get away with anything! Even when all of the evidence is stacked up against them, they use there power to look squeaky clean in the public eye, which just gives them more power to do whatever they want. I was hoping for something a bit different in this movie but it seemed to be going round in circles because he couldn't beat his addiction. The performances wasn't bad and the plot was pretty intense towards the end but it seemed like an average, "straight to DVD" movie, which lacked originality. I was pretty disappointed with the outcome, mainly because he deserved to be punished for his actions but it just shows that money and power will always win, in the political world of corruption. Average! Round-Up: This movie was written and directed by Mora Stephens, 40, who also brought you Conventioneers in 2005. As she hasn't had that much experience behind the camera, I can't totally blame her for the outcome of this movie, which should have exploited the corrupt politician, and made his public life hell. Lena Headey was perfect for her role, and she brought intensity to an impossible situation but I found Patrick Wilson a bit stiff and unemotional. With that aside, it's still an entertaining movie which gives an insight into politicians weird sexual activities but I can't see me watching it again anytime soon. Budget: $4.5million Worldwide Gross: N/A I recommend this movie to people who are into their thriller/dramas, starring Patrick Wilson, Lena Headey, Ray Winstone, Richard Dreyfuss, John Cho, Dianna Agron and Christopher McDonald. 4/10 See more
