Rating: C -- A misfire satire that preaches against slick political practices by high-powered political consultants. Full Review
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Apr 29, 2011
Before it turns slack and sentimental, "Power," Sidney Lumet's foray into the world of political consultants, crackles with a kind of moral static. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- The movie seems to be asking us to walk out of the theater shaking our heads in disillusionment, but I was more puzzled than disillusioned. Full Review

Film Threat
Feb 7, 2006

Description by OLDIES.com:

Sidney Lumet's Power focuses on the powerful media circus that plays into American politics. Starring Richard Gere as an influential press consultant, the film paints a picture of political candidates who are bought and sold like pawns in a bigger game.
