Power Reviews
Film Threat
Caffeinated Clint
Gere is a revelation
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie seems to be asking us to walk out of the theater shaking our heads in disillusionment, but I was more puzzled than disillusioned.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A misfire satire that preaches against slick political practices by high-powered political consultants.
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
Before it turns slack and sentimental, "Power," Sidney Lumet's foray into the world of political consultants, crackles with a kind of moral static.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
There is little of the gratuitous hysteria that usually mars Lumet's work, and David Himmelstein's busy script keeps things moving, though at the price of losing track of a couple of significant subplots.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Presents a provocative glimpse of the important role media experts play in the political process today.
