What A Complete W.

Oliver Stone Directing American Politics... There is no bad in thar statement.

A film of 2 halves. The lighter, comedic flash-back sequences interspersed with the later events of the Iraq War build-up.The later is amusing while the latter is gripping. The combined effect is a tradgic comedy; funny cause he's a naive fool. But tradgic because his ignorence is shaping the world future, for the worse.

The cast are extremely effctive with Brolin due much praise for not making Bush a caricature, but he still doesn't quite capture the man's arrogence and cluelessness exhibited during press conferences.

Richard Dreyfuss as Chaney, Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell and Scott Glenn , while not looking exactly like theie real-life counterparts,capture their personalities perfectly. James Cromwell, as Bush Snr, while looking nothing like the bloke, captues his persona. It's only Thandie Newton's Condy Rice which lets the side down; spot on visually butacted like something out of a SNL skit.

Very entertaining, but I feel there's a deeper, angrier movie within Stone thats still to be revealed.

'Ataboy.
