Rod Laurie, the director/writer, seems to know how to write a political thriller... He wrote and directed The Contender as well, which was interesting and has a great performance by Gary Oldman...

There were some cheesy parts in that movie, especially the scenes with the President bloviating about history, which he seems to have avoided in Nothing But the Truth...

Neither film has the nihilism and cynicism that is prevalent in political films and shows these days, e.g. House of Cards... We could do with this kind of variety in styles...

Good movie over all but very disappointing and unrealistic ending.
