W.
An audacious and deeply entertaining whirl though the life of George W Bush, the most powerful man on the planet - for now, at least.
Synopsis
In this colourful, turbulent and frequently eye-opening blast through George W. Bush's life, controversial director Oliver Stone manages to evoke something of the unlikely wonder felt by many when the black sheep of the Bush family of Texas - boorish, alcoholic, suffering a deep father complex, aimlessly drifting from college, the army and a series of failed businesses - somehow, ended up as the most powerful man on the planet. In'W', he attempts to show us just how this happened. Stone is careful to present an even-handed account of Bush's ascent - his legendary'folksiness', for instance, is played consistently well to the fore. Aided by Josh Brolin's superb rendering of the lanky Texan, contrasting with Richard Dreyfuss's sober and insidious Dick Cheney and rising British star Thandie Newton's Condoleezza Rice, Stone has pulled off an audacious and dazzlingly entertaining feat.
