The worst protagonist's rival role I've ever seen. He's supposed to be a professional in his role, but I've not seen a single action to make me believe it. The only tactics I've seen in the movie are: 1) paying a random person to smash an egg on the head of a politian; 2) make your client say a quote that you heard from your rival 5 minutes before the press-conference (like, what the hell? seriously?). Another moment I wanted to quit watching the movie was during the racing of 2 buses - what was the point? to show your ass off (literally) to your rival? to ride off the cliff and kill the candidate and hole crew? Seriously, after that moment, I didn't take this movie seriously at all. There are moments I liked, but they are very few, and thus I don't think this movie deserved more than I'd rated.

This movie was OK...watchable for the most part due to the usual good performances of Sandra Bullock and Billy Bob Thornton. An election in Bolivia (partially based on a true story) with behind the scenes goings-on of a professional organization dedicated to a successful campaign by instructing and molding the candidate (portrayed by Joaquim de Almeida). The movie really didn't have much of a "punch". The central subject was actually a very serious one, so the writers had few opportunities to slip in the Sandra Bullock type of humor. Possibly the problem is that so many have come to expect that elections are largely about manipulation so it's no surprise. Or maybe it's that this is the behavior we expect from so many politicians that we've come to accept and it's "no big deal".
