''Bulworth'' is a 1998 political satire film starring Creator/WarrenBeatty, who also co-wrote and directed.
The story begins as the title character, Senator Jay Bulworth of California, grows weary with his political career and failing marriage. He decides to end his life, taking out a ten million dollar life insurance policy so his daughter will remain well off, and hiring a hitman to kill him in two days' time. With nothing to lose, he spends his final hours telling the public how he really feels about them, smoking marijuana, dressing like a gangsta rapper, and rapping about socialism.
With a new found purpose in life as the voice of the underclass, he begins to regret his decision to hire someone to kill him. Can he stay one step ahead of the assassin's bullet?
Creator/HalleBerry also stars.

* WalkAndTalk: Or rather, run and talk; when Bulworth is walking out of the airport, into meetings, or anywhere, when he thinks some is going to kill him, he walks very fast or even runs, so Murphy and Feldman have to struggle to keep up with him.
