The Ides of March (2011)

Not quite a standard political thriller, the key protagonist (and the one in danger of falling from grace) isn't the candidate for POTUS but his idealistic, fresh-faced campaign manager.

It's like a murder mystery in reverse: you'll be guessing just what will trip him into the Dark Side.

It's a well-written drama about a political coming of age and loss of innocence.
