As an American politics lover, I saw the synopsis for this film and gave it a try. The start was good, a clandestine meeting in an out of the way restaurant. There was a good build of tension as the stenographer and journalist realised the scale of what they were taking on.
The movie then proceeded to jump off a cliff the moment the couple arrived at a hotel. Spoiler alert, the whole film is then based in an out of the way hotel filled with awful dreary supporting characters delivering toe curlingly bad improvised dialogue. After a while you will end up pleading with the film to get back to the central point of the plot, ie. The most important political event of the American 20th century. If that wasn't enough, when the big reveal of the tape contents is made, the film makers bizarrely add some sex and violence just in case us viewers find the politically dynamite contents a bit boring to listen to.
Overall, this film is a self indulgent mess.
