Never before has a real-life story indifferently asked for a screen adaptation. And director Antoine Fuqua eerily captures the simmering tensions and palpable sense of injustice in what will ultimately be remembered as a mild turn in the thrill-ride that is the Dubya administration.

  • Never before has a real-life story indifferently asked for a screen adaptation. And director Antoine Fuqua eerily captures the simmering tensions and palpable sense of injustice in what will ultimately be remembered as a mild turn in the thrill-ride that is the Dubya administration. But surely Fuqua's most impressive achievement has been persuading most of the real-life individuals involved to portray themselves on camera. This feat was accomplished via a number of cunning bribes: shotgun shells (Cheney); a crate of Krispy Kreme donuts (Rove); a shiny object (Bush); the unblemished soul of a small child (one each for Pelosi and Novak); a manicure (Plame); and of course a pack of smokes for prison trading (Libby). All of the cast perform splendidly on the silver screen. But the special guest appearance of Stephen Colbert, as a young and nubile Tek Jansen, is worthy of special praise. His eloquent finale speech, while simultaneously defeating an army of liberal hopped-up terrorists, brought tears to the eyes to many at the premiere. Although Rove's chronic flatulence might have also been a factor.
