This movie joins two other movies I liked a lot, in dubious distinction, EYES WIDE SHUT and A THIN RED LINE. Both those movies' reviews, like the reviews below, are either one star or five star. I guess I like unorthodox, unformulaic movies, because I like all of them. Bulworth is original and resonant and funny. (To the reviewer below who thought Beatty was trying to be hip in his rapping, when in fact he was square and unhip. He was TRYING to be square and unhip. He said so in interviews when this movie was out.) A little side-note, the pulse of this movie, believe it or not, was inspired by a Jules Verne story. Beatty personally asked the Verne family if he could take credit for it as an original story, since the plot had changed so much, and they said okay. But the Verne story was about a man who hired a hit on himself, so to give credit here where it is due. I read about this in the book THE GROSS.
