Escândalo Municipal

I watched this movie expecting a Rob Ford biopic. It focuses on two people -Bram a writer for a Toronto newspaper and Kamal, one of Ford's aides.

The story seems all over the place, telling the story of these two low level workers and how one is trying to bring down the Mayor while the other protects him. The story of the two of them really doesn't go anywhere and the movie drags on without coming to a point.

The movie finally ends and leaves you with a feeling that you wasted your time.

I tried really hard to understand this story, but I don't understand it. The film begins with some really wordy discussions or debate, which I already lost me. The mayor is portrayed to be horrible, but the people on the opposite camp is not that nice either. The story is just not very engagingly portrayed.

I am very aware of this story that takes place in Toronto. This rambles all over the place. There are some well known names and faces. They must have needed the money or a free plane ticket to Toronto and sightseeing. Damian Lewis as Rob Ford. Why?

It has a strong start but becomes incredibly dull fast, and the movie can't seem to decide whether Bram or Kamal is the protagonist. The only reason I saw this movie I was because Ben Platt is on it.

I mean the actual story was amazing. everyone was watching the news every day to see what would happen next in the farce. this should have been an easy homerun, but somehow they made the whole thing boring.
