This movie is a thousand times more relevant in 2020 than it was when it came out twenty years ago. This is a film about corrupt politicians (I mean, Trump is president...), sex scandals (#MeToo), and the double standard of what is moral in the eyes of the American people. "The Contender" might be a bit heavy handed towards the end, but aside from that, it is an incredibly poignant and powerful political thriller.
