Film Freak 2011 - The Ides of March

Two days this week and two very different films but again it's all in the cast:

Ryan Gosling - WOW - Handsome, and the actor of 2011 hands down!
George Clooney - Creepy yet seductive and believeable, just the way a politican needs to be.
Philip Seymour Hoffman - an old trooper from way back when
Evan Rachel Wood - Fantastic!

Great cast and great plot twists, a little drawn out in parts but overall not a bad effort for a film directed by the minor star George Clooney as Ryan Gossling really steals the show.

The Ides of March is a political thriller with romance, drama, a bit of suspense and a lot of twists and turns throughout the fairly fast paced movie.

I must say i was a little restless in parts and the ending was less than statisfactory, you really wanted more and wanted more loose ends tied up.

All in all a good cheap Tuesday film, I give it 3 and a half winter night stars.
