Gosh this movie was boring. People talking in offices, and eating (so much eating). The President is so concerned with legacy in a hypocritical way (the good of the country versus the good of his "swan song"). Jeff Bridges as president is constantly ordering food - I can't tell if this is supposed to be a bit or not?
Also, the first scene with Christian Slater (outside a building in DC) has some obvious speck on the lens. I am surprised they went with that take.
This exchange between the President and an aide made me laugh:
Did we get him a gift?
Yes sir, you did. A leatherbound "Don Quixote"
Great great, a metaphorical gift. He'll be trying to figure out why I got him that for years.
Gary Oldman got into an argument with the director over politically motivated edits to the film, which I thought was interesting.
