Warren Beatty gives one of the best performances of his career as Jay Billington Bulworth, a senator who, due to fatigue, takes a new political path--one of truth. To spread the word, he uses the world of rap music, making for one of the more entertaining films of the summer.

Bulworth is one of those rare films that is able to walk a fine line between reality and comedy, without losing sight of it's message. It also manages to make it's point without being manipulative and beating you over the head with stuff you've seen time and time again. Credit Beatty and Jeremy Pisker for writing a screenplay that works for most of it's running time. Bulworth isn't always right on target, but when it is, it'll knock some sense into you. Many will be disheartened by the unpredictable conclusion, but don't let that distract you from going to see this film.

With Bulworth, Warren Beatty proves he can't rap a lick, but he sure can make one hell of a movie!
