Rating: 1/4 -- An improbable fantasy in which the people who make political advertising emerge as chisel-jawed heroes of democracy. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/5 -- [An] underwhelming, would-be political satire. Full Review

Rating: C -- It could have been an incisive counterpoint to a film like "The Ides of March." Instead, it's a forgettable series of bullet points barely strung together by charismatic performances. Full Review

Soulless and two-dimensional, Knife Fight is a black hole of disillusion and spin. Full Review

Another clichéd story of a cynic who gets in touch with his inner idealist..Movies like this give political satire a bad name. Full Review

Rating: B- -- Lowe's Paul is slimy, but, lo and behold, we are supposed to believe that he smells like a rose. He really wants to make the world a better place. His sentiments may be genuine but they come across as a con. Full Review

Product Description:

A hotshot political strategist fights to protect his clients while experiencing an unexpected crisis of conscience in this sharp-edged political comedy starring Rob Lowe. Paul Turner (Lowe) has a gift for spin. When the media catches wind of a Kentucky governor's extramarital affairs, Turner has a plan to save the day. Likewise, when a California senator is targeted for blackmail, Turner works overtime to sweep the scandal under the rug. Meanwhile, an ambitious doctor (Carrie-Anne Moss) reveals her intention to run for governor, prompting the seasoned strategist to warn her of the difficult road ahead. Later, just when it seems that Turner can't stoop any lower for the sake of his troublesome clients, he learns that sometimes fighting fair is the only way to come out on top. Eric McCormack, Julie Bowen, and David Harbour co-star.
