If a political candidate is personally flawed, but stands to make a positive difference in millions of lives, would you help him win? That question looms over the life of "true believer" Paul Turner (Rob Lowe), a savvy strategist sharply maneuvering politicians out of scandal and into public office. With the help of a bright young assistant (Jamie Chung) and a seedy operative (Richard Schiff), Turner spins every news cycle and a shrewd reporter (Julie Bowen) on behalf of his clients: a philandering Kentucky governor (Eric McCormick), a blackmailed California senator (David Harbour), and an idealistic doctor turned gubernatorial candidate (Carrie-Anne Moss). When the ugly side of Turner's work begins to haunt him, he learns that even in the bloodiest of battles, sometimes you have to fight clean.

Review For Knife Fight
Lowe's Paul is slimy, but, lo and behold, we are supposed to believe that he smells like a rose. He really wants to make the world a better place. His sentiments may be genuine but they come across as a con.Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Meanders aimlessly around too-familiar territory.
Sara Stewart-New York Post
An improbable fantasy in which the people who make political advertising emerge as chisel-jawed heroes of democracy.
John Barber-Globe and Mail
Whether playing it sleazy or noble, Mr. Lowe brings little emotional weight to his role.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
[An] underwhelming, would-be political satire.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
Soulless and two-dimensional, Knife Fight is a black hole of disillusion and spin.
Jeannette Catsoulis-NPR
A fun, tack-sharp political drama with satirical underpinnings, buoyed by crisp characterizations.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
It could have been an incisive counterpoint to a film like "The Ides of March." Instead, it's a forgettable series of bullet points barely strung together by charismatic performances.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
For all the knowing monologues mentioning tax breaks for the rich and diet drinks for the poor, Knife Fight feels squeaky-clean -- a remedial spin class that tells more than it shows.
Nathalie Atkinson-National Post
Smart, brisk political satire, so smoothly done and performed that it overrides certain weaknesses and a climactic sentimental face change.
David Noh-Film Journal International
Another clichéd story of a cynic who gets in touch with his inner idealist..Movies like this give political satire a bad name.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
A mixed bag, offering a few winning performances and moments of revelation, while the rest scatters aimlessly, in search of structure director Bill Guttentag doesn't provide.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
Bill Guttentag exaggerates the absurd lengths advisors go to win an election and yet ultimately aggrandizes their behavior.
Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine
Cynical and savvy, it's a small film with a big message about the ends justifying the means.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
TagLine Knife Fight When it comes to getting elected, there's no such thing as going too far.
