Never saw that movie. Maybe Michael Douglas needed the work or did it as a favor
Save your money. Don't rent it. Martin Sheen is in it, as the advisor and best friend of the president. Just having Sheen in the movie right away makes it disgusting. But the final dramatic moment is when the demonrat president (Douglas) holds a press conference to rant about the glory of the ACLU and the evilness of his antogonist, a Repub senator or congressman, I forget which.
I was forced to sit through the movie, but I wasn't able to keep my mouth shut while I was watching it.
