A formulaic piece of work about cardboard politicians but saved by the presence of Hugh Laurie even though he can't save it. It's not a smooth ride but clumsy and jerky relying on telegraphed scenes. Little time is taken to develop the characters or explore the events as there is too much going on. And, as for events, it's a matter of piling one on top of the other, then adding another and another. It would have been better if it had been leaner.
