silver city ( 2 plus outta 5 star ) a a huge fan of john sayles work for many year now i feel safe in say that this be the bad movie he have ever do . that say and the movie isn not exactly terrible . just very uninspired . sayles throw in familiar element from his previous movie ( corrupt politics and illegal immigration and the sell out of youthful ideal ) but fail to bring them together in any new or meaningful way . even the dialogue ( usually sayles strong point ) be disappoint this time around . sound clichéd and force in almost every scene . the movie look and sound like episode from a tv series that do not make it past it third episode . there be ton of big star on hand . and they try their best to make their bit part come alive . but the material just isn not there this time around . while film a campaign spot a governor hopeful ( a poor and obvious george w bush stand in ) fish a dead body out of a lake . an investigator be hire to try and warn away people who may have deliberately set this up to discredit the candidate . but he soon find out that there be deep and darker ( and more clichéd ) secret to be discover . sayles have make similarly themed movie so much well in the past ( lone star and matewan and return of the secaucus seven and men with gun ) . it a shame that he go to the well one time too many and come up with tainted water . one good line and deliver by richard dreyfus represent danny and youre a loser . that already be establish beyond doubt . so just try and be a good one and okay .
