    Lurie hits closer to the bone here than he did in his ham-handed "The Contender" (2000).

    A fairly gripping cautionary tale.

    Nothing But the Truth is like listening to the fourth-best debater in middle school present a term paper called "Politics, Power and the Media."

A good propaganda film for Bush Cheney fans.… Expand
