Movie Description Directed by Stephen Frears (DIRTY PRETTY THINGS), this political drama chronicles the early career of Tony Blair, when, as a Member of Parliament, he supposedly struck a deal with colleague Gordon Brown to obtain leadership of the Labour party. Michael Sheen portrays Blair--a role he would later reprise in Frears's Academy Award-winning movie THE QUEEN--while David Morrissey (DERAILED) stars as Brown.
Industry Reviews "[A] pungent, spirited, and quietly devastating 'prequel' to THE QUEEN....It's played out with terrific aplomb." Film Comment - Kent Jones (07/01/2008)
