Critic Reviews of "The Contender"
New York TimesJanuary 01, 2000What makes this twisty, cautionary yarn ... delicious is a cast that chews the scenery with such obvious enjoyment.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000This is one of those rare movies where you leave the theater having been surprised and entertained, and then start arguing.
Film.comJanuary 01, 2000While you're watching it, The Contender lives up to its title.
Chicago TribuneJanuary 01, 2000An intelligent and informed look at the preposterous ways our leaders are often picked and sabotaged.
VarietyJanuary 01, 2000The large, talented cast elevates the film above the trappings of its loquacious debates.
Common Sense MediaDecember 28, 2010Thoughtful, enjoyable film for older teens.
Bangor Daily News (Maine)October 18, 2007Sex, lies and politics--they all boil together beautifully in "The Contender," a strong political drama that understands Washington, knows its dirty secrets, and uses its excellent cast to fine effect.
TheMovieReport.comOctober 14, 2007Pretty much shameless leftist propaganda being sold as conventional Hollywood entertainment, but it manages to satisfy on the traditional genre terms.
eFilmCritic.comJuly 30, 2007The Contender thumps its Democratic Bible hard enough to put Jonathan Edwards to shame.
Combustible CelluloidMay 26, 2006Despite a few phony moments, the dialogue is sharp and the directing is immediate.
Looking CloserDecember 06, 2004When Republicans speak, it's a bitter voice we hear; when Democrats speak, the music swells proudly. There's not must to think about here. It's a personality contest.
