Editorial Review:
Jeff Goldblum, Anthony LaPaglia and Liev Schreiber star as a trio of elite American political consultants who were hired by a group of Russian businessmen to manage Russian President Boris Yeltsin's election campaign in 1996. These consultants secretly orchestrate one of the most spectacular political comebacks of the twentieth century - Yeltsin's successful re-election.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Interesting story, fine acting, kind of boring and a bit long
America is the greatest country in the world. We export some fantastic things. But our campaign tactics are not our greatest strength. That said, our campaigning is better than anything Russia had to work with. So a few American experts in modern American campaigning went to Russia to help get Yeltsin reelected. We can argue all day as to whether or not he was a fine Russian president, but compared to another communist, he was the best we all could get.

Rating:  - brilliant
The movie is funny, frightening, sharp, entertaining, with a fantastic cast. It's even better than "Wag the Dog" because it's real. A gem.
Rating:  - Interesting
An interesting movie about an interesting political topic. The American spin in Moscow. Good actors for a premium cable movie and a movie that doesnt drag on.
