Warren
Beatty gives one of the best performances of his career as Jay Billington Bulworth,
a senator who, due to fatigue, takes a new political path--one of truth. To spread
the word, he uses the world of rap music, making for one of the more entertaining
films of the summer.
Bulworth
is one of those rare films that is able to walk a fine line between reality and
comedy, without losing sight of it's message. It also manages to make it's point
without being manipulative and beating you over the head with stuff you've seen
time and time again. Credit Beatty and Jeremy Pisker for writing a screenplay
that works for most of it's running time. Bulworth isn't always right on target,
but when it is, it'll knock some sense into you. Many will be disheartened by
the unpredictable conclusion, but don't let that distract you from going to see
this film.
With
Bulworth, Warren Beatty proves he can't rap a lick, but he sure can make one hell
of a movie!
