剧情介绍
影片讲述了一个政党内的混乱局面。党内五人竞争总统选举的提名，在第一次投票过后，五人选票接近，没有一个人有绝对的领先优势，在这时候，领先者们开始表现他们对“这份工作”的渴望。
Intellectual William Russell and down-to-earth Joe Cantwell are front runners for a party nomination that will almost certainly mean the Presidency. Cantwell is prepared to use anything to achieve his goal while Russell sees himself as a man of principle - though his philandering means he is relieved his wife is prepared to appear alongside him. Both men crucially need the support of the ailing President, and as the stakes become higher each team has to decide how dirty they are prepared to get.
需要感情吗？除非政治需要
不觉得能跟Advise&Consent相比，这部从剧作到人物都太扁了一点。不过也很娱乐。
好奇现在的总统候选人还会面对这种道德困境吗？看完16年大选到现在的各种幺蛾子表示怀疑。生肉看完有点晕，不评分了。2017-06-15想看

玩政治就应该心狠手辣，虚幻的道德感是没有用的╮(╯_╰)╭
很戏剧化，很好看。但是必须要有点美国政党选举的一些背景知识，才能看得比较清晰。5星推荐。
没有字幕不是百分之百听懂。但凭粗浅印象，这片跟Otto Preminger的《华府千秋》架构也太接近了。翻译名的是明白人啊
在美国大选之后看这么一个片子 挺有意思……
