This film was sold under the premise that it was an expose of the early days of total Media domination and the privacy implosion that started around this time in the 80s. I was interested in this historically; but found the film to be lacking in any kind of analysis or critical deconstruction in terms of what did actually happen to that poor Gary Hart. Did he believe that adultery was evil or a "sin"? It was never clear. I found Vera Farmigo to be quite weak in this dumbed down role for her; as she is a very good actress and was wasted in this film.
