Henry Burton (Adrian Lester) is more or less abducted by Governor Jack Stanton's (John Travolta) campaign crew who are helping him run for President of United States. However, Henry begins to work for Governor Stanton, since it appears to Henry that the Governor's intentions are sincere. As the campaign escalates, they face damaging opposition, and when things couldn't get worse, a sex scandal emerges. It seems like the Governor has had extramarital affairs, but the Governor's wife, Susan (Emma Thompson) stays strong by his side. In order to stay on top of what the Governor has done in the past, they hire their friend, Libby Holden (Kathy Bates), to help clean up the Governor's name. Soon, the presidential campaign seems to become a popularity contest where image takes precedence over issues. Primary Colors has a brilliant cast that performs up to the expectations in a very interesting story. However, the story lacked that special touch that would put it over the top. Nevertheless, it provided the audience with a very good film experience that will satisfy their curiosity and amusement. |
