STRANGELY subdued Oliver Stone attempt to get under the skin of the 43rd President of the United States.
The problem is that he can’t seem to decide whether to make a conventional biography, an all-American farce or a Dallas-style soap opera.
This results in an underwhelming film that feels more like a work in progress rather than the last word on the Bush years.
Josh Brolin stars.
VERDICT 3/5
