Aroview: In charting the rise of a controversial Southern Governor through the US Democratic primary campaign, John Travolta rises admirably to his most challenging role to date as a thinly-veiled fictional version of Bill Clinton himself. An intelligent interrogation of political ethics, as scrupulous and even-handed as any, buoyed with pointed satire and piping hot topicality.
