The film does a masterful job of depicting how glamorization of unrestrained growth and success can take a person into dark moral and psychological corners. Despite what most critics say against the facts presented in the film, most if not all of them are backed up by substantial evidence and witnesses. Whether you watch it for entertainment or information the film is a good watch. Fair warning on the r@pe scene, it is uncomfortable to watch (as is a lot of other violence, language, and nudity in the film). But, IMO, the film masters the political drama genre by taking a look at a character who has taken such a deep influence in our American society. Only thing missing is it sometimes pulls its punches at times where it shouldn't.
