Critic Reviews
Misfires by constantly tossing out liberal feel-goodisms.
Wonderfully cast and slickly directed, but so crudely written.
It's an intelligent and informed look at the preposterous ways our leaders are often picked and sabotaged.
Heavy-handed and manipulative, it also proves formidably engrossing.
It's a polished, beautifully made movie with a rotten heart.
Excellent performances in an entertaining if less than totally plausible story.
Silly as it is, The Contende has a lurid zest that keeps you hooked, and a rambunctiously good cast.
A sharp, intricate political drama.
An assured and gripping political drama filled with remarkable performances and razor-sharp writing and editing.
Until The Contender slips into partisan politics and platitudinous piety, it's a lively, entertaining ride.
The sort of smutty scandalmongering the average moviegoer can really get behind.
