Review of The Special Relationship

I was surprised to find out how good this political drama was going to be. I did not expect much, but received quite a solid political drama.

First I am curious how truthful are these political conversations and events depicted in the film. I always wondered and I am still wondering how much depth script writers have when they write political drama like this? How much real truth do we get? I never had a chance to find that out and probably never will.

Plot is interesting and the fact that USA and the UK considered ground troops and full invasion of Serbia is still a novelty to me. I never knew that was on the table. I am sorry they did not go with the full invasion and occupation of Serbia, like they did with Germany and Japan in WWII. It just shows to us how impotent Western powers can be sometimes. Serbia deserved to be demoted to the third! Full stop! Actin is still something to be desired in this film. Only actors who acted Tony Blair and Cherry Blair were up to par. The rest of the actors, I am not sure, I would not cast them again.

All in all if you like political drama this is a film for you.
