SPOILERS BELOW
I'm with Gary Oldman on this one - the ladling of didactic syrupy orchestral score (as well as Oldman being made up to look like some kind of evil Narnian turtle, holding meetings in dark rooms where creepy men lean out of the shadows and talk about the best way to stab someone) really does highlight the goody vs baddy nature of it. Not that the Republican Party isn't actually this awful, it's just that there's very little complexity here - the Republicans do crappy stuff and the Democrats hold the high moral ground until everything works out. It's an interesting set-up and a bunch of good actors, delivered with all the subtlety of Prince Caspian.
Rating: Fine.
