Rating: 2.5/4 --
The movie seems to be asking us to walk out of the theater shaking our heads in disillusionment, but I was more puzzled than disillusioned.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Sidney Lumet's Power focuses on the powerful media circus that plays into American politics. Starring Richard Gere as an influential press consultant, the film paints a picture of political candidates who are bought and sold like pawns in a bigger game.
