Entertainment Reviews:
Mr. Hackman languishes in the smallish role of a White House buffoon, with Judy Davis equally cartoonish as his witchy chief of staff.
New York Times
...Sleek and satisfying....Almost a drawing room thriller, unhurried and genteel but enlivened with suspense and surprising bursts of sly, even biting, humor...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Eastwood has infused Absolute Power with a predictably deliberate sensibility that fits the material quite well...

Reel Film Reviews
...Eastwood gutsily stages the extended opening slowly and methodically...
USA Today
[I]t's all told with Eastwood’s typical soberness as he digs into a government that’s rotting from the inside.
The Atlantic
Rating: 4/4 --
A first-rate thriller about arrogance at the top, a showdown between two kinds of Americans: the evil, omnipotent bureaucrat and the enterprising, mind-his- own-business loner.

San Francisco Chronicle
Eastwood is at his effortless, slyboots best: he deftly cranks up the suspense at the beginning, but by the end he's cruising along so briskly that he can afford to throw away the climactic, violent scenes other directors would belabor.

Product Description:
In this slick political thriller, an emotionally disconnected, aesthetically refined master thief is out for one final score before retiring to his treasure-lined hideaway. But during a robbery at a mansion near Washington, he witnesses a bizarre sex murder involving the President of the United States. As the president's slimy handlers frantically cover the crime up, the career criminal--and only outside witness--becomes the Secret Service's prime target. His relationship with his estranged daughter hangs in the balance. Adapted from the best-selling novel by David Baldacci.
