COMMUNITY REVIEWS

I wanted to like this... submitted by fizzleskittle on June 24, 2012, 4:48pm I really wanted to like this, but just didn't. While it was exciting to see Ann Arbor on the big screen, the storyline was lacking. The ending felt like "oh crud, I better end this because the script is getting too long!" I just don't see this as being an iconic political thriller.

Confused submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 9, 2012, 7:12am I was extremely confused throughout the length of the movie. I thought it would spark my interest, but it ended up just boring me for a couple hours.

Good submitted by ima_rom on July 15, 2012, 5:22am I enjoyed everyone in this.

pretty good submitted by ftan on July 16, 2012, 3:55pm i thought this film was pretty good. the acting was decent along with the plot.

Ick... submitted by monipate on July 30, 2012, 8:32pm ...with so much going for it ( ie, beautiful people in it), this movie was just painful. The story was ridiculous...in a Bad way.

OK submitted by alumeng.ajl on July 31, 2012, 3:36pm This was OK. The only reason I saw it was because I knew someone who had a small part in it.

I THINKS submitted by loving jinny on August 9, 2012, 4:31pm SOSO

I thought this was pretty good submitted by Beth Manuel on August 30, 2012, 10:56am I would recommend it. I thought it was a fascinating depiction of how dirty politics can get.

Quit it halfway through--just didn't grab my interest submitted by hathaway1066 on August 25, 2013, 9:13pm A bit too far into the political campaign realm.

Might be great if you're a wanna-be campaign manager, but didn't really offer characters that I could relate to.

the ides of march submitted by a2sue on July 15, 2014, 11:12pm the ides of march was just plain bad.

Just OK submitted by purchasingqueen on August 16, 2016, 11:24am Not one of my favorite George Clooney films. Did not draw me in.

Award Fodder submitted by Meginator on June 17, 2017, 3:18pm This was one of those movies where I could really tell why critics (of the award-voting variety) liked it, even if I didn't find it particularly enthralling. It's very well done and the talent is top-notch, but something doesn't quite click for me. This is probably worth watching if you're very into political campaigns, but maybe not as a popcorn venture.

Okay submitted by rjsjwilliams on June 24, 2018, 12:38pm way ,way into politics so much that I lost track and interest
