George also co-wrote this (with co-producer Grant Heslov), and it has nicely cinematic moments. The source is play 'Farragut North', though you wouldn't think so. In it, Ryan Gosling becomes a shit, because that's what politics does to you. You couldn't ask for a better cast with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti in support, plus Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei and Jeffrey Wright.
Shot by Phedon Papamichael, edited (of course) by Stephen Mirrione and scored by Alexandre Desplat.
Political thrillers can be boring - this one isn't, and it's nicely economical (90 minutes).
