Ides of March, The

Drama
3.5 stars
Decent, but not as good as I expected. Ryan Gosling stars as a deputy campaign manager for George Clooney’s run for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. It starts out really slow with typical campaign stuff, gets interesting when the double crossing begins, but then ends a little ambiguously. Co-stars include Evan Rachel Wood as Gosling’s love interest, Philip Seymour Hoffman as Gosling’s boss, Paul Giamatti as the campaign manager for Clooney’s opponent, and Marisa Tomei as a reporter. Wait for cable.
