Film Description

A riveting political thriller in which a female senator is nominated to be the new US Vice President, and finds herself the target of a vicious dirty-tricks campaign. Jeff Bridges plays the Clintonesque Commander in Chief, but Joan Allen is genuinely presidential. Gary Oldman nearly steals the show as a reptilian Republican senator.
