It's as workmanlike as Johnson was as a politician; but as a primer on one of history's less flashy leaders, it's a worthwhile watch - mostly for fellow Texan Woody Harrelson's committed performance behind those prosthetic ears.November 03, 2017

The best thing the director has going for him is his star, Woody Harrelson.November 02, 2017
