This film has an awesome feel right from the start. It borrows a bit from a lot of films - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Heathers, maybe even a little Gladiator (from the political scenes, not the violence) - but it really is unlike any of those films. While on the surface it is a period piece it is first and foremost a dark comedy. The three leads are fantastic and the supporting actors are also fantastic. About two thirds through the film I thought it had surpassed Cold War as the movie of the year. The last third was good.... just not as good as the rest of the film. The film gets darker towards the end and the final scene is a real departure from the rest of the movie. After chewing on the final scene for a few days I think I did not realize who (and what) the film was really about.
