This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Justin Kerrigan dedicates this tale of delusion and misadventure to his late father, who may have been the model for his protagonist.
Robert Carlyle plays Charlie, a man on a mission so opaque that his teenage son (Arron Fuller) can't begin to fathom it: is he involved in counter-espionage? A hitman, or a madman? The modest setting in small-town Wales suggests that Charlie hasn't such a firm grasp on reality, though Kerrigan can't gather these veils of uncertainty into an involving drama. We don't know what the hell is going on, and, by the halfway point, we don't much care. It's a disappointment from a director whose earlier Human Traffic banged the drum for 1990s club culture.
