Filmography Narrator
Like him or hate him, George W. Bush was one of the more engaging personalities to occupy the White House. Josh Brolin does capture some of that in this movie, but neither he or the director (Oliver Stone) seem to know what they want to say about the man. Some scenes go for muted satire, while others go for strained drama. Very few have the feeling of authenticity. Maybe that's because they couldn't (or wouldn't) explore these people as they really are, going mainly for who they are perceived to be by some. Stone was able to bring compelling character backround and historical balance to his "Nixon" in 1995 (with the help of the great Anthony Hopkins). Here he doesn't even approach that. It delves lightly, rather than deeply, into the story of a president who was popular enough to win re-election and controversial enough to inspire fierce debate over his policies. We don't get into much of that in 'W,' since the focus is on the first term and the father/son relationship between two presidents.
Even worse than the Duke's.

Much like Fargo but set in the deserted plains of south Texas instead of the barren tundra of North Dakota. But even better, and with an ending that can't help but leave you wondering.
although I rate the film 4 doggy bones I would have love to see more action and complications. Denzel was great as usual, he's so #!@%*# sexy!
Definitely the best movie of 2007; as soon as it was over I wanted to see it again right away. The best Cohen brothers movie ever made, and one of the best book-to-movies ever done. Period.
happened at the end?? other than that...quality movie.
Denzel dazzles in gangster, a gritty tale of drug trafficing during the vietnam war. Lookout mob, here comes Mr. D!
. . . the movie is great.
