This is one of the best acted political films you will see.
At the beginning you get a good idea of some of the wheeling and dealing the local politicians do just to get votes and keep various factions satisfied.
There are four writers credited with the screenplay and three of those are recognised top drawer writers.
It is obvious that the film has gone through various manifestations, gestations, rewrites and conceptual readjustments before a final, locked script emerged.
The movie dealing with a shooting that leaves a cop dead as well as an innocent child sets off a chain of events that leads to political skulduggery.
While others might find the film hard going, even dense, there is no denying the quality of the acting.
