The Ides of March (2011)

...My religion
 is the constitution of America
This film has received a lot of positive reviews. It seems to me a little unfair then if I were to give it thumbs down after switching it off in just twenty five minutes. I think there are some prerequisites to liking this movie. One, you must have an interest in American presidential preselection politics and all the dirt that goes with it. Two, you need to enjoy being shocked by corruption in the processes. Three, you need to think documentary style acting pretending not to be acting still has the wow factor. Four, you need to think slightly intelligeble foul mouth mumbling actors are more 'real people' that way, take note Hoffman. I seem to fail in all counts.
