...Stone gets points for speed and efficiency - he shot the picture over 46 days this spring and summer on a tiny $30 million budget and gave it a rich, polished look - but not for the scope of his vision. W. isn't tragedy or farce; it's illustrated journalism, based mostly on extant Bush biographies and memoirs of early Bush appointees. All the incidents are there but not the insight. What's missing is the one thing Stone films have never lacked: a point of view...
