Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
TomSawyer 2112 Most people probably didn't get the symbolic message.When the lawyer pays his visits to whores, he hands them over the envelope full of cash.When from (a supposed morally clean) Prosecutor he evolves to senator, he gets an envelope full of cash, by his clients...Get It? Who are the whores? That's what the movie is about.Hypocrisy from everybody involved. Great movie!
Kingslaay Zipper is an intriguing and somewhat dark film. The plot is kind of evident in its title but this is not some smutty story of a politician. Rather it is about a rising star in politics who after years of playing it straight succumbs to temptation. We heard of famous politicians and presidents having affairs on the side.The directing is pretty good as you can feel the intensity in some scenes and feel the rush Ellis feels. With some better directing, writing and budget off course this could be an even greater film. Part of its allure is the dark or other side of clean and television friendly person. How people need to see and believe in someone like that but the reality is different. Once again the reviewers/sheep have given this a low score without judging this film on its merit. Any reviewer should have the rule that he/she will judge a film by its quality not by the opinions of others.
Reno Rangan 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
ValerinAmberz I saw this movie after having watched the 5.7 IMDb rating. I found myself glued to it from the beginning until the end. Afterwards I couldn't understand what's about it that people supposedly don't like. The movie touches a subject that while probably very common in real life you seldom see portrayed in movies. Sex-addiction. I can only remember seeing it once or twice before, in the awful and overrated Nymphomaniac, and in the decent Auto Focus by Paul Schrader. This was easily the most entertaining one. Great actors all around. Among them a hardly recognizable Richard Dreyfuss, in a serious part. The movie maybe occasionally had a TV-movie feel to it, not that it mattered, the dialogue and ending kept you thinking. Many memorable lines. If you liked House of Cards I think you're gonna like this movie as well. Even if the main character isn't quite as psychotic as the lead from that show. 8 out of 10
