Summary: Power still relevant 22 years later
Comment: I was educated, enlightened and entertained by this film two decades ago, and I still am. The lines in it are witty and they capture a political life perfectly. There are a lot of great moments - the pollster/computer guy Ralph explaining his work to candidate Fritz Weaver, Gere chastising a governor's assistant for petty bureaucratic moves which could jeopardize the campaign, Hackman drunkenly chastising Gere about taking on perverted candidates, Christie ferreting out E.G. Marshall's reasons for senate retirement.... Yes, there are a lot of plots and it can get chaotic. But that is so true of political campaign life. I love the pieces where they create television ads for the candidates. Brilliant, brilliant film. Why aren't there more films from writer David Himmelstein?!

Summary: Not 'Power' ful enough
Comment: As a lifelong fan of Mr. Washington I bought the movie to round out my collection. Didn't like the movie--the concept if PR people (Richard Gere, Gene Hackman) going to such extreme measures--aagh! Denzel's role was very minor. Disappointing movie; glad I didn't pay any money to see it.

Summary: My disc was defective too, and the movie wasn't worth it...
Comment: I actually bought this DVD over a year ago but just decided to watch it. I'm a huge fan of Sidney Lumet, and I like Richard Gere, Gene Hackman, and the other stars in the film. About 30 mins. into the movie the picture started distorting, and after that it would skip large chunks of the movie. There was nothing visibly wrong with the DVD itself. But, I saw enough. Even before I reached the defective part, it was like watching a foreign film without subtitles. I had almost no clue what was going on, and didn't really care after a while. I can usually watch almost anything, most movies have some redeeming quality - for example, maybe an exotic, interesting locale. This is largely set in New Mexico. No offense to New Mexicans, but skip this. I threw it away.
