I'm kind of sick of politics right this moment, so I guess that catching the morning showing of The Ides of March somewhat trying. It also doesn't help when you can't figure out the central conflict of the movie. Plus, going in they sold it as a political thriller; yes there was some of that, but it was mostly a character drama -- what will Ryan Gosling learn? Speaking of who, this guys in every movie right now, hunh?
Anytime Evan Rachel Wood is in a movie watch out. She plays dangerous very well because she looks so innocent. You know it would come down to her getting into trouble with a capital T. Just pick up the phone.
The overall theme of the movie is that politics is dirty and will make even those with high minded ideas change their tune. I know. That's why I've been sick of politics lately.
