Knife Fight (2013)

In the ruthless arena of politics, where the personal and the public are often indistinguishable, "Knife Fight" plunges us into the life of Paul Turner (Rob Lowe). As a 'true believer' with a razor-sharp strategic mind, Turner navigates the murky waters of political scandal, working tirelessly to shepherd flawed candidates into the limelight of public office. Assisted by a brilliant young aide (Jamie Chung) and a gritty operative (Richard Schiff), Turner adeptly manipulates the news cycle and a cunning journalist (Julie Bowen) to serve his clients: a wayward Kentucky governor (Eric McCormick), a compromised California senator (David Harbour), and an altruistic doctor-turned-gubernatorial hopeful (Carrie-Anne Moss). As Turner confronts the darker aspects of his work, the film raises a compelling question: would you aid a flawed candidate if their victory could positively impact millions of lives? When the ghosts of Turner's maneuvers start to linger, he discovers that even in the most ferocious political warfare, there comes a time to fight clean. This tantalizing exploration of ethics and power dynamics in the political world will have you questioning where the line lies between necessary strategy and deceit.
