A British talk show host interviews the ex-president.
I expected it to be good, but I didn't expect to like it. As a rule, I don't care for biopics or based-on-a-true-story movies, and I don't care for politics. And I can't say I've ever really liked a Ron Howard movie before. So I'm not sure why I rented it, but I'm glad I did; it was a really great movie. It seems strange to say, but it felt like an action movie more than a drama - there's a hero and a villain and a series of escalating showdowns. Very effective suspense, even though the end is spoiled by the trailer (and by history, I suppose, but my high school history classes weren't nearly so thorough). ( )
