Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: She figures it out, and the result is suitably astonishing. She opts for the truth over deception, despite the cost, and that’s always admirable.
The idea that the President has lost the piece of his brain that lets him believe in death is a very interesting one.
Con: It’s hard to believe a politician could get all the way to the Oval office without a hint of this leaking out.
