Synopsis: A group of american consultants, tasked with getting an unpopular Bolivian president re-elected, track down a maverick political consultant (Bullock) and persuade her to lead the team.
Review: A bit like in the TV-series House of Cards, this movie is about getting a president elected. Except that the action doesn't take place in the USA but in Bolivia so that the way to proceed is quite different, and less powers are involved. Also the American teams of consultants will take no benefit in who wins, they are just hired to do a job. But to give them more motivation there is a backstory between the characters played by Bullock and a Billy Bob Thornton as good as usual. The movie is also played with a comedy tone, but most of all, one should watch it to see how Bullock manages to turn a losing campaign around. Not very deep but an entertaining movie.
Rating: 5 /10
