in bulworth warren beatty give one of his funny and most outrageous performance . this sharp political satire be even more timely now than it be in 1998. this be a marvelously subversive movie on several front represent politics and race and economics and hollywood itself . beatty star a a fading senator from california who be so burn out he arrange for a large insurance policy and then hire a hit man . he at the end of his rope personally and professionally . he lose in a primary election to a young gun and have nothing leave in his life . after day without sleep or eating he be drag off to a rally at a black church . he start to read his usual speech but almost in a state of delirium he start answer question honestly . he enrage the black congregation with his brutal answer but somehow feel buoyant . outside the church a the mob surround him he run into halle berry and her friend and they all take off in the limo . this start a voyage of discovery for beatty . of course at this point beatty be also run from the hit man . his new honesty unleash a desire to live . they arrive at a black hip hop club where beatty drink and smoke pot and and be transform by the loud urban rap music . the dance scene with beatty and berry be remarkable . next stop be a speech at a fancy hollywood hotel fill with film executive . beatty make many comment of how jews run hollywood and become rich and but turn out a crappy product . next come a debate with his political opponent and and finally an interview . the new beatty parrot back much of what he have hear from poor black but of course he have always know the truth . his sense of freedom from the back room politics of washington be exhilarate and his new voice reach the mass of disenfranchised voter . his comment about the medium and how it be control by corporate america be more apt now ( during the bush administration ) than ever before . beatty be brilliant and and this rank a one of his very best performance . berry be actually good a well in her pre movie star mode when she still bother to act . oliver platt score a the political aide . paul sorvino be a lobbyist for the insurance industry . jack warden and helen martin and don cheadle and christine baranski and florence stanley and laurie metcalf and sean astin and isaiah washington and nora dunn and joshua malina and william baldwin and hart bochner and armelia mcqueen and and jackie gayle co star . fill with humor and political insight and and top notch performance . this acid look at politics in amerca be more timely now than ever . bravo to warren beatty .
