The Contender 2000 - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars



This 2000 release that runs 126 is kinda long and talky as well as not a very interesting female lead portrayed by a not so sexy Joan Allen BUT if you can get over that,its a very good look at "partisan"politics in a whole different light as it is set before 9/11.
I recommend for those who are not bored easily and like a good political infighting drama.
Some other very interesting casting moves as well.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.

A political thriller about Laine Hanson, a senator who is nominated to become Vice President following the death of the previous office holder. During the confirmation process, Laine is the victim of a vicious attack on her personal life in which stories of sexual deviancy are spread. She is torn as to whether she should fight back, or stick to her high principles and refuse to comment on the allegations. Written by Ted Johnson
