Thank you for Smoking (2005)
Country: US
Technical: col/Panavision 92m
Director: Jason Reitman
Cast: Aaron Eckhart, Maria Bello, Cameron Bright, Adam Brody, Sam Elliott, Katie Holmes, Rob Lowe, William H. Macy, Robert Duvall
Synopsis:
A lobbyist for the tobacco industry delights in using his smooth-talking powers on such a lost cause as the health-restoring properties of cigarettes, but he is brought down by an ambitious columnist. Or is he?
Review:
Entertaining look at the world of spin, featuring one of those loveable rogues in the mould of Captain Renault in Casablanca. Eckhart relishes the part and the trio of devil's advocates who meet for drinks is a nice idea; altogether a pretty sharp piece of satire which restores its star to the weaselly kind of part he does best.
