The Special Relationship (2010 TV Movie)
7/10
An okay film of the ever lasting friendship with the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
23 December 2010
This HBO original movie "The Special Relationship" is a well done drama that follows the inner workings and relationships between the U.S. and the United Kingdom. It mainly focuses on the friendship made between Bill Clinton and Tony Blair and it continues with the election of George W. Bush. Most compelling is seeing how Clinton and Blair try to match political styles. And the film show the struggles of Clinton especially his sex scandal with Monica. Plus Hillary is rightfully portrayed as ego driven and power hungry. The performances were dead on Sheen was brilliant as Blair and Dennis Quaid nailed Bill's southern draw just perfect. And Hope Davis was just fine as Hillary.

What can I say it's good to have an international friend and this movie showed how two prime leaders can get along and help make decisions. "The Special Relationship" is one good film to enjoy and feel comfortable with.
