 All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Bulworth
Bulworth is a daring film from Warren Beatty, a film maker whose politics have always been left of centre and whose long career has been driven by his very personal choice of projects.
Bulworth also finds romance with the fiery, beautiful and intelligent Nina (Halle Berry, from Executive Decision, etc), who hails from LA's fl ghettos and the opposite end of the political spectrum.
However, Bulworth is nowhere near as clever, biting or as credible as those two films, and at times is something of an undisciplined mess.

Neither Beatty nor Bulworth can see that this guy, who justifies using kids to run crack by saying he's giving them a chance to make money when they can't get an education in their lousy public schools, is the logical extension of Huey: empowerment as the rationale for one more strutting hustler.

 Bulworth, directed by Warren Beatty, written by Warren Beatty and Jeremy Pikser - A little of John Reed, after all
In a television appearance, that climaxes Bulworth's political odyssey, he rails against the inequality of rich and poor, against the lack of decent jobs, against the present health care system, against the system's efforts to divide fls and whites.
Bulworth and Nina are a little distant in some of their "intimate," one-on-one scenes.
It is possible to say that Bulworth, in that sense, emerges from a certain tradition, filmmaking with a social conscience, a tradition that has not been entirely obliterated by the conglomerates that dominate Hollywood and indeed, under present conditions, may find a new lease on life.

 CNN - Review: 'Bulworth' worth the hype - May 14, 1998

 Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Bulworth
But Bulworth is an amazing and couched-in-comedy attack on double talk and two faced-ness at almost every level of American life, from the men in suits who have their hands in the pockets of the politicians to the drug dealers in the ghetto hiding behind children.
Beatty's Bulworth has just lost his literal shirt by shorting pork bellies in a rising market; poor, poor stupid, greedy white man. Tool of the insurance lobby that he is, Bulworth first arranges for a very large life insurance policy, courtesy lobbyist Graham Crockett (Paul Sorvino), and then arranges for his own murder.
Cranky doesn't necessarily buy rap music as a metaphor for the voice of the people, which is what the script infers, but it does serve the comedic purpose to make whitebread look dumb and thus hide the political message.

 Bulworth
Having seen the movie Bulworth, it is actually not difficult to see why Warren Beatty would treat Morricone's score so badly because, beautiful though the music is, the film didn't really need it.
Despite the protestations of his campaign team, Bulworth develops a new found enthusiasm for life and his work, finds a new girlfriend in the shape of activist Halle Berry, and continues his tirade extolling the virtues of free speaking and honesty.

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
It only goes to show the risks you run when you try to make a movie that tells the truth politically and then limit this "truth" to a series of sound bites; sooner or later that form of TV abbreviation is going to bite you back.
More precisely, Bulworth is about a Democratic senator from California (Beatty), up for reelection in 1996, who is having a nervous breakdown, takes out a contract on himself, and then finds himself blurting out the truth instead of the usual packaged lies during his campaign.
Beatty describes Bulworth as a "tragic farce," and probably the reason he makes it tragic is that he can't figure out any other way of resolving his shotgun marriage between current Democratic lies and the truths he'd like to replace them with.
