The Comey Rule, despite its obvious flaws, cannot be faulted for them. It achieves what it set out to.

There's good and bad parts of the film that I can't say for certain moves the needle in the political world, but everyone will be left to make their own assertions on the validity of the facts and determine which loyalty is worth fighting for.

There's nevertheless something useful about seeing the dry pages of nonfiction brought to life, in a production that's hardy flawless but whose stellar casting represents showboating in the best TV sense of the term.
September 17, 2020
This dull dissection of the Clinton/Trump face-off -- led by a terribly bland performance from Jeff Daniels -- feels entirely unnecessary.
September 25, 2020
"The Comey Rule" is not good drama; it's clunky, self-serious and melodramatic. But it makes an unsparing point amid our own election season.
September 22, 2020
At its best, though, The Comey Rule is a horror film, and the monster is Donald Trump (played by Brendan Gleeson with a gruff manliness that's almost but not quite flattering to the whiner in chief).
September 21, 2020
The Comey Rule may not be a great event series, but it's a damned compelling one, with a real-life tale that still beggars belief and a fantastic group of actors to tell it.
September 25, 2020
As constructed by writer-director Billy Ray, "The Comey Rule" will be a gripping yarn even to those already familiar with Mr. Comey's history.

And so, a month and change before the election... there is The Comey Rule, ready for you. You could certainly watch it on Sunday night. Though I can't for the life of me imagine why you would want to.
September 14, 2020
It's a failure as an attempt to clarify recent history, made worse by a series of artless creative choices.
September 25, 2020
Brendan Gleeson skillfully avoids caricature.

Good luck finding facts, truth or any enlightenment in The Comey Rule.
