With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches. Nobody is quite who they seem. Shelve it next to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
A sharp altercation will pave the way for a brilliant career when a shameless liar meets his future employer: a resourceful parliamentarian. But, what happens when he tells one lie too many? Is his flair for fiction always beneficial?
