Synopsis:
An aging Irish-American politician approaches his fifth and final mayoral campaign with the town divided between die-hard supporters and those objecting to his cronyism. He hires his nephew as a journalistic observer for posterity.
Review:
Overlong and relying too much on character and sentiment at the expense of action, this is nevertheless a worthy interrogation into differing ways of doing politics with a savvy central piece of casting, touching in its last half-hour.
