    Our Brand Is Crisis

    Reviewed by

    Our Brand is Crisis is a political satire that thinks it's biting because it has a few curse words and a few cynical speeches. Yet anyone familiar with real biting political satire like Bulworth or Primary Colors, will instantly recognize Crisis as a watered down puff piece. One with a severe lack of nerve, and a shamelessly optimistic conclusion, that is tacked on after it finally seemed like the film had found it's teeth. Bullock is good, capturing the internal struggle of being a consultant with a conscience, yet she can never truly convey the acerbic, heartless nature of the business because she is just so damn likeable. Billy Bob Thornton is the only character who feels like he belongs in a real "take no prisoners" political universe. Yet we wouldn't want to give him too much to do because then audiences might actually start to feel uneasy about the state of political discourse, and we can't have that can we? A film that barely scratches the surface of an important topic, yet thinks it's struck oil simply for being made in the first place.
