Tempted for a moment, the idealistic newbie sticks to his guns, confident that his candidate has what it takes to pull through. Adding to the drama is the introduction of a flirtatious intern (Even Rachel Wood), whose major goal seems to be landing Myers. To make things interesting, Wood’s character, Molly, is the daughter of the chairman of the DNC. The two hit it off and sparks fly, but when Myers discovers a secret that could blow his nominee’s campaign apart, things get ugly. Myers must decide whether he will become a victim of the dirty, underhanded politics he has tried so hard to distance himself from. Ryan Gosling is flawless as the savvy media orchestrater, who finds himself caught up in a twisted web of deception. He is the butter to the splendid, crusty characters portrayed by Hoffman and Giamatti and proves he is one of Hollywood’s hottest leading men, able to take on a wide range of roles.
