Steve D Not as accessible to non Brits as the other two but still well done. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The Deal relives the high drama of British politics with Sheen's Blair acting as quick-witted and cunning as we suspected. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The Element Of 'Made For Television' Is There, In The Shadows Of The Production..But The Story, True-To-Life Is Great. Sheen Plays A Pigsney Blair Character Whom Ultimately Is Contrite In Victory, Falling Arse-Over Backward Into Leadership. His Performance Is By Far The Best, All The Rest Of The Cast Just Tag Along For Show. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member "Politics is not always about... higher matters." This sums up so much. Casts a bright light on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Their friendship, climbing the ranks of parliamentary and the divisive agreement for one to move ahead of the other with sites set on Prime Minister. Might be old fodder for our English brethren, but I found it interesting. It's a short watch, anchored in strong performances. If you have an interest in politics, watch. If not, pass. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A rather Brownite account of Blair and Brown's rise through the ranks of the Labour Party. Michael Sheen is excellent, as always, and the use of real TV footage brings the whole thing to life. Just make sure you also read The Third Man, Peter Mandelson's excellent book, for a more balanced historical perspective... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting topic undermined by snail-like pacing Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
