Story Line For Knife Fight | |
| If a political candidate is personally flawed, but stands to make a positive difference in millions of lives, would you help him win? That question looms over the life of "true believer" Paul Turner (Rob Lowe), a savvy strategist sharply maneuvering politicians out of scandal and into public office. With the help of a bright young assistant (Jamie Chung) and a seedy operative (Richard Schiff), Turner spins every news cycle and a shrewd reporter (Julie Bowen) on behalf of his clients: a philandering Kentucky governor (Eric McCormick), a blackmailed California senator (David Harbour), and an idealistic doctor turned gubernatorial candidate (Carrie-Anne Moss). When the ugly side of Turner's work begins to haunt him, he learns that even in the bloodiest of battles, sometimes you have to fight clean. | |

Review For Knife Fight | |
| Lowe's Paul is slimy, but, lo and behold, we are supposed to believe that he smells like a rose. He really wants to make the world a better place. His sentiments may be genuine but they come across as a con. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Meanders aimlessly around too-familiar territory. Sara Stewart-New York Post An improbable fantasy in which the people who make political advertising emerge as chisel-jawed heroes of democracy. John Barber-Globe and Mail Whether playing it sleazy or noble, Mr. Lowe brings little emotional weight to his role. Stephen Holden-New York Times [An] underwhelming, would-be political satire. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times Soulless and two-dimensional, Knife Fight is a black hole of disillusion and spin. Jeannette Catsoulis-NPR For all the knowing monologues mentioning tax breaks for the rich and diet drinks for the poor, Knife Fight feels squeaky-clean -- a remedial spin class that tells more than it shows. Nathalie Atkinson-National Post Smart, brisk political satire, so smoothly done and performed that it overrides certain weaknesses and a climactic sentimental face change. David Noh-Film Journal International Another clichéd story of a cynic who gets in touch with his inner idealist..Movies like this give political satire a bad name. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine A mixed bag, offering a few winning performances and moments of revelation, while the rest scatters aimlessly, in search of structure director Bill Guttentag doesn't provide. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Everyone from Eric McCormack's caricature of a Southern candidate to Julie Bowen's celebrity newscaster are simply straw men for writer-director Bill Guttentag's argument that elections are a dirty business ... David Fear-Time Out New York Bill Guttentag exaggerates the absurd lengths advisors go to win an election and yet ultimately aggrandizes their behavior. Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine | |
