Julianne Moore is frighteningly convincing as failed vp candidate Sarah Palin in this thoughtful if glacially paced teledrama. Woody Harrelson and Ed Harris are also good as strategist Steven Schmidt and the late John McCain.

A small portion of the bestseller is given the movie treatment with a strong cast that focuses on the McCain-Palin campaign of 2008, specifically with the selection of Palin and the final few weeks of the presidential campaign. Julianne Moore gives a strong performance as Palin, embodying her looks, voice, and mannerisms so strong it's almost difficult to tell the difference between the two. Ed Harris is pretty good as John McCain and Woody Harrelson is good as well as campaign advisor Steve Schmidt.

Some shots and angles just didn't work. Lastly, in the beginning of the film, I'm confused whether the film centered on Palin or McCain and his team? I couldn't feel some …
