The Ides of March
All hail the nearly extinct “adult drama.” This dream team cast delivers great performances, and Clooney certainly earns kudos for adapting the stage play, producing, directing and starring - on a $12 mil budget! The problem with this political drama is that REAL politics and scandal have proven far more dramatic & surprising. That said, I’d still recommend it…because adult drama’s with all star casts and well-told stories are rare in the age of comic book adaptations and re-makes.
