The Ides of March

George Clooney writes, directs,and stars in a behind the scenes look at a political campaign for the presidency. As the March 15th Ohio Democratic Primary approaches, out comes the dirty politics, extortion, and back stabbing as individuals (involving a governor, campaign managers, an intern, and a reporter) jockey for position to get the upper hand. The all star cast of Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Ryan Gosling, Evan Rachel Wood, and Marissa Tomei play their roles perfectly. See if you can predict the winners and losers in this political race.
