The cast is really good and Redford delivers a great performance. The story depicts the trip from an activist in the way to become the politician he was despising from the beginning, showing all the things that is is dropping in the raise to the election. However, the story is a bit rushed and the transfixing is not so evident as it could have been depicted.
The Candidate: This film is a great look into the current administration in the White House. ‘The Candidate’ is a fine example of art imitating life!
