Knowing he's about to die any moment, Bulworth snaps and less loose about the bulls**t of liberal politics, particularly when people ask him, "Are you saying the Democratic party doesn't care about balck people." His answer is always, "Isn't that obvious?"

So now that he's speaking the truth, he falls in with a hip-hop gangsta crowd, winning them over eventually. Now everywhere Bulworth goes, he raps his political views and the voting public starts eating it up.

Evenutally, he falls for a young woman named Nina, played by Academy Award® winner Halle Berry (Monster's Ball) and spends much of the final hour of the film trying to call of the contract. However, he has p**sed off so many special interest groups, who knows who may be out to gun him down by act three.

Oscar® winning director Beatty is really good in this picture, of which he also wrote and directed. His performance is lively and hilarious, but the rapping gets on my nerves after a while. Berry is adorable in this, but the performance was no stretch for her. Since 1998, I've seen her to so much more challenging worth.

Oliver Platt (Lake Placid) plays Bulworth's political strategist and his extremely funny. The humor of the picture overall is the best reason to watch this film. However, the story and the believability are not.

There is no way Bulworth would gain such popularity among voters and the press they way he did by by acting the way he did. I'm sure he would've have ventured into new demographics like he did, but for the most part, Bulworth would plumet in the poles. That's a big part of the story, so the story is bunk for me.

I did like Beatty using the picture to spout off several lines of how big business and corporate politics are crushing the plight of the poor man, but at the same time take shots at the democratic party as being hypocrites. I didn't quite agree with every statement Bulworth made, or…rapped, but his use of the medium lifted this silly storyline into a more credible place. There was a reason for the film with this material.

The cinematography of this picture sucked at the hands of Vittorio Storaro (The Shelting Sky, Little Budha). Almost every scene of the picture was bland and murky and ORANGE. Did anyone bother to tell him about color frequencies with certain lenses? I don't know who to blame for the ugliness of the colors in this movie, but they were ugly enough to be noticed. Storaro sucks.

Overall, I liked the picture, but thought it could have been done in a more believable way. It's characters and humor was very funny and written with intelligence, but the story was not.
