Overview
Dirty tricks stand to soil an ambitious young press spokesman's idealism in a cutthroat presidential campaign where 'victory' is relative.
I really really enjoyed this film. The cast was fantastic – Gosling, Clooney, Giamatti and Hoffman. While it was billed as a political thriller it was more a study of what politics can do to good and well-meaning people.
