Hugh Jackman stars as the charismatic politician Gary Hart in this thrilling drama following the rise and fall of Senator Hart, who captured the imagination of young voters and was considered the overwhelming front runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination. But his campaign was sidelined by the story of an extramarital relationship with Donna Rice. As tabloid journalism and political journalism merged for the first time, Senator Hart was forced to drop out of the race leaving a profound and lasting impact on American politics and the world stage. The film also stars Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons and Alfred Molina.

The most boring movie I have ever seen in my life! Drab, anemic, lifeless! Gary Hart thought he could sneak around with Donna Rice, lie to his constituents, and get away with it. I will never understand politicians who sacrifice everything because they can't keep their pants zipped!

Boring and slow. I wouldn't' recommend it. Its about 15 minutes of noteworthy information spread across the entire film.

ok movie. only because I'm bored and nothing else good is on tv so i bought a rental on my laptop. honestly? JK Simmons seems like the lead presence in the movie while Hugh Jackman just does his best "Gary Hart" impression. as for Vera Farmiga; she resembles Elizabeth Olsen. makes me think they couldn't get Olsen so they got someone close enough.
