The Delegate (1996) is this wild ride through the murky waters of political ambition and moral decay. The tone swings from darkly comedic to unsettlingly serious, reflecting on the lengths one politician will go to secure votes, especially when greed and manipulation are involved. It’s got a satirical edge that feels relevant even today, showcasing how power can corrupt those in its grasp. The pacing has its ups and downs, but there's a certain raw energy in the performances that keeps you engaged. The practical effects aren't anything to write home about, but they serve the story’s absurdity well, creating a bizarre atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
The Delegate is somewhat of a rarity; it hasn't seen many re-releases, which makes it a bit of a hidden gem for collectors. I’ve noticed that those who have a penchant for political satire often seek it out, despite the lack of mainstream attention. Formats are limited, mostly stuck to VHS and a few DVD copies, which adds to its scarcity. If you're into offbeat comedies with a dark twist, this film might just spark your interest.
