This satire written and directed by Bill Guttentag -- based on a story by co-screenwriter and former Bill Clinton advisor Chris Lehane -- aims to be a cutting-edge portrait of cutthroat political machinations. Lowe plays the central role of Paul Turner, a campaign advisor and political fixer who has his hands full with his two current clients. Compared to its brethren, Knife Fight plays out as a cynical version of The West Wing, thanks to the inclusion of familiar faces Rob Lowe and Richard Schiff. While Knife Fight hits the right data points, the story is a poorly-structured muddle. Much like Not Fade Away, the movie from Sopranos creator David Chase, Knife Fight overreaches, stuffing an entire television season's worth of twists into 98 minutes.
