“Stone's best film in years and one of the decade's great political pictures.”—Channel 4 Film
The unpopular, now-former President George W. "Dubya" Bush, Jr. comes to life in an acclaimed performance by Josh Brolin. The film follows his unique, often absurd path from a Yale fraternity house to the Oval Office. Though not the polemic that many of his followers were expecting, Oliver Stone's surprisingly sympathetic film captures Dubya's misguided ambitions and his private demons. Co-starring Richard Dreyfuss in a scarily good performance as Vice President Dick Cheney.
