Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
: ...Brolin is never cheap. Representing a man who finds both salvation in Jesus and relief that one of his intelligence reports is only three pages long, the actor digs deep.

This is Oliver Stone's personal wet dream about W. It is boring beyond believe and is a lame attempt at swaying the political sway of the country.

Putting all politics aside. This film is very well done. The story told, how a man with many demons at a young age transforms to become the President of the Greatest country around. It is also entertaining and nicely done. I enjoyed the movie.
