Emilio Estevez’ writing/directing labour of love - a homage to Bobby Kennedy - is undoubtedly well-intentioned, and boasts a fine ensemble cast (Anthony Hopkins, Martin Sheen, Demi Moore and Sharon Stone).
In aiming for an Altmanesque web of inter-weaving characters he just takes on too much, and cracks show before the climactic tragedy. Yet there’s much to admire here, not least Demi’s drunken diva fits.
