100This is one of the rare movies to explore American materialism through the eyes of an all-too-ordinary person who isn't up to the challenges of everyday life.

80Stark, bold drama.
-
60That The Assassination of Richard Nixon is as well directed, acted and shot as it is makes Mr. Mueller's inability to invest his film with significance all the more disappointing.

30It grinds on and on without mercy. You're in the cross hairs. There is no escape. Where is that Secret Service when you need it?
