As a student of Political Sciences, I believe this to be one of the most fascinating and introspective documentaries regarding the subject of campaigning. The first modern campaign, the 92 Clinton war is an amazing melodrama of quick rises to power, downfalls, villains, heroes, and the precursor to one of the most vicious political battles of our nation's history. In the film, if you look hard enough, you see the seeds of weakness being sown which would lead to an awesome political showdown which is more grand, more high-stakes, and more dark than the plotline of any film in this database. Note: If you like "The War Room," read Woodward's "The Agenda."

This film is among those few which exhibit qualities of clear-cut and exciting movie-making. Although it does not stand out in any brilliant way and I do not consider it to be a "must-see," it is a film I recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to see it. Well-developed characters couple with an intelligent and fascinating plotline and make for a truly gripping film that is, in fact, very educational. I had the honor of watching this film with a good friend of both Watson and Crick and for me, the experience in hearing of the reality of the characters heightened the experience.

Although A Chorus Line is a film which carries with it a strong message and a look at fascinating characters, the point of the film (losing one's inhibitions through dance) is disrupted by musical interludes and flashbacks which - although develop two characters further - distract the viewer from the present frame of reference. The message and introspect of the film - which is brilliant - is belittled by being made to double as a setup for a song. The dance is necessary in the film; characters dancing about are an important element of the plot. But the movie might have been good if the songs were absent. A good message is worth nothing if that message cannot be relayed clearly to the viewer.
