  ‘Demme’s movie is nonpartisan: The words “Republican” and “Democrat” are never uttered during the story’s twisty, over-baked challah of sleeper espionage, mind control, impromptu assassination plots and electioneering flimflam.’

  That seems to be what’s wrong with the movies and TV these days. Even when they do political conspiracy, we get conspiracies without any politics - by which I mean political ISSUES. When issues get taken out of politics, the end result is a travesty of life itself. It would be like making a Christian movie where, say, no one was ever tempted by sex, drugs or rock’n’roll.
