Given the media circus that invariably surrounds American elections, I've been a fan of these kinds of political / journalistic thrillers since All the President's Men (1976) . Not the very best film in this genre, but thanks to the performance of good old Brian Cox and Jodie Turner-Smith more than captivating enough to hold the attention. I had a great time.

A political thriller with a fairly simple story about a journalist who discovers shadowy matters surrounding the presidential elections. Sounds more exciting than it actually is but personally I didn't find it too exciting. In principle, the cast plays well, but the leading lady (Jodie Turner-Smith) has the charms and appearance of an ice rabbit. All in all, not bad, but it certainly won't stick around. I'm hesitating between 2.5 and 3 stars... Well, 3 stars for Brian Cox.

Not a great film, but still a passable one for this film. I don't really like the thriller genre, but it is fascinating with a well-constructed plot. They could have left out a few unlikely elements such as Eli who spends 3 hours in the ladies' toilet and then uses a memory stick to empty an already logged-in PC. The cast was OK, except Cena for president; that choice makes no sense.
