Our Two Cents This film is outstanding. There are lots of twists and turns. The story and the acting is first rate.
FYI Producer Art Linsons and David Mamet were having lunch when Linson informed Mamet that he could not get anything more than a no frills budget for the movie. Kilmer was literally at the next table. Linson knew Kilmer and asked him to come over, and they talked about the production. Kilmer was so impressed with the story and Mamet's vision that he agreed to the role giving a significant discount to facilitate Franchise Pictures giving a green-light to the production.
David Mamet wrote and directed this political thriller.
