Bulworth

(Fox)

Warren Beatty's brave, if ramshackle, political farce has him playing a disillusioned senator who takes out a contract on himself (after taking out a $10 million life-insurance policy to benefit his daughter) and begins to speak his mind (he calls a group of Beverly Hills entertainment executives "big Jews" and brands their product "crap"). Then he meets sultry flygirl Halle Berry and decides life might just be worth living. The plot contrivances are old-hat, but Beatty's nervy social agenda make this film a provocative tour de force in political incorrectness.
