Movie Review
Grade: B+
Absolute Power is an intriguing, complex, original story with a basis on corruption of power. It contains much more suspense, action, and mystery than the novel, but, at the same time, stays a political thriller. It's quite different than the book; some characters that survived in the movie did not in the novel. Clint Eastwood still sounded like one of his cowboy roles, unfortunately. The ending isn't very climatic but much more realistic than that of full-blown action movies. Read the full movie review
