When Republicans speak, it's a bitter voice we hear; when Democrats speak, the music swells proudly. There's not must to think about here. It's a personality contest.

Pretty much shameless leftist propaganda being sold as conventional Hollywood entertainment, but it manages to satisfy on the traditional genre terms.

Sex, lies and politics--they all boil together beautifully in "The Contender," a strong political drama that understands Washington, knows its dirty secrets, and uses its excellent cast to fine effect.

An intelligent and informed look at the preposterous ways our leaders are often picked and sabotaged.

A major step forward for the director.

The Contender thumps its Democratic Bible hard enough to put Jonathan Edwards to shame.

This is one of those rare movies where you leave the theater having been surprised and entertained, and then start arguing.

Despite a few phony moments, the dialogue is sharp and the directing is immediate.

What makes this twisty, cautionary yarn ... delicious is a cast that chews the scenery with such obvious enjoyment.
