The Deal

Morgan's writing with Fresrs' direction create a mesmerizing film.

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown both want to be the Labour Party Prime Minister. John Smith , the Labour party leader, dies suddenly opening up a duel between Brown and Blair.

Blair played by Michael Sheen is great on TV. Brown is not as likeable. David Morrissey is the moody Brown. Blair had verbally said to Brown six years before Smith dies that he would be the next Labour leader. Brown didn't go against Smith and lost his chance. Paul Rhys is my favorite as the person who tells Brown he is no longer front runner "You are moody. Intolerant. You didn't do the ugly work of making and keeping friends." This film is part of a trilogy. The Queen is next. The Deal is as good or better than The Queen. The third one I will certainly see for these two are tops.
