Bryan Cranston does a solid job playing Lyndon Johnson, not that mastering a walking wad of clichés like LBJ is exactly the height of the thespian craft. And that’s a shame, because the politics and emotions surrounding the passage of the Civil Rights Act called out for an exploration of Johnson’s nuances rather than his cartoonish bombast. With such a stellar cast, a better movie might have been made. Mildly amusing
