My review · Reviewed 08/07/2014
This is the perfect example of where the rottentomatoes score is completely misleading. I can see how it got an 82% as it wasn't terrible. That said, the parts where a zillion times better than the sum. And let me get this straight - a democratic had to try to convince republicans to go to war? Please. From what I read the story is pure fiction.
