| To their credit, Pollack and his scriptwriters have tried to tackle all the necessaries of a proper old style political thriller head on. |
| All Pollack can come up with is desperately well-intentioned hooey, made even more bizarre by the pop-eyed solemnity of the acting and its sheer, baffling unexcitingness. |
| Starring Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman, the film was both directed and executive produced by Pollack, and he even plays an uncredited minor role in it. |
| As Pollack notes, more children live with their mothers than with their fathers following divorce. |
| Pollack feed longer during smaller neap tides than they do through a big spring tide. |
| Unlike the President, Pollack dignifies all possible objections and what-ifs with answers. |
