...that he successfully depicts him over a span of 40 years. Playing the current president is undoubtedly intimidating, but Brolin makes a complex character out of a seemingly less-than-complicated man. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast falls into caricature. In particular, Thandie Newton’s Condoleezza Rice seems like an amateur “Saturday Night Live” impersonation...
