Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's Zaillian's overdirection that cooks this whole mess into a flavorless gumbo. He never shows you something just once when he could show it twice and never leaves a point unhammered home.

All the King's Men was suspended in editing limbo for nearly a year, and the final result only makes the mind reel at what it could have been carved from.

rotten:
The director can't seem to find a natural rhythm for the movie -- it's portentous and vague at the same time.

The film isn't dreadful: it is just generally disappointing.

What should have been an incisive study of the American political scene turns out a lumbering celluloid white elephant.
