Rating: B
Commentary: While I’m sure there’s a good deal of airbrushing here, it’s nevertheless a neat effect. Ryan Gosling looks just enough like George Clooney that combining half a face of each works tremendously well. 		Rating: B
Commentary: Clooney as a director gives me hope, though the trailer is fairly unexceptional. The promise of a good political drama is high and that cast just looks amazing.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: This is one of the year’s early Oscar contenders and, if it is as good as Clooney’s previous effort Good Night, and Good Luck. We could have a lot of competition in major categorie sincluding Picture, Director, Acting (Gosling and Clooney at a minimum), Original Screenplay and more depending on just how good it is.
