This movie opens this week for limited screens. I think this is a risky move on leftists part, because it may ignite a blacklash from independent-mind voters as this movie provides a window of what is in leftists' mind.

LOL! Do yourself a favor...NEVER READ WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY about politics on IMDB.com. It's maddening and frightening. It's easy to just assume these are just kids posting, but I fear alot of them are not.

Yes, I agree with you .. and the risky move is that people will see that the leftist's SOLUTION for their political problem is DEATH TO THE OTHER GUY. Not very democratic if you ask me.

I'm a little surprised the reviews didn't call it "The Best movie in Years," and the reviewers aren't calling for Oscars all around.

I'm proud to live in a country where the government can't prevent the release of a fictional film depicting the assassination of the real-life president,"

Suppose this had been a fictional film where the KKK assassinated all their "undesirables"? Would he be proud of the country?

For what it's worth, the TomatoMeter at www.rottentomatoes.com gives this movie a 33%.

Nahhhh. I doubt if more than 10% of the population even knows this joke of a movie exists.

The actor's face has been digitally replaced by George W. Bush's.

Suppose this had been a fictional account of the assignation of the Dixie Chicks with the actor's faces being digitally replaced with the real Chicks? What do you think they would have done? Sued? Called it "hate speech"? Been proud to live in a country that allowed it?

I would never..never...ever condone or pay to see a movie that shows the assassination of a sitting President. It's too horrendous when it happens in real life. You gotta to be some kind of freaking moron to dream-up such a negative idea and even stupider yet to think that it has any value artistic or otherwise. This crap is guerrilla theater whose sole purpose is to incite and propagandize the political notion that President Bush is the root cause of all of the world's problems.

Actually, many on the left join conservatives in saying that the film goes too far. That is a good thing.

slipshod film: Arizona Daily Stary

superficial gimmick...its ideas... are few and familiar: LA Daily News

It's a stunt more than a movie, and if this is what's passing for intelligent liberal thought in this (or any other) country, we're really in trouble: Slate.com

it may leave Bush critics asking why they just spent $10 and 90 minutes on something that's more controversy than content: Newark Star Ledger

dull fiction: Rolling Stone

a dose of NyQuil: New York Post

The film itself becomes its own worst enemy: Newsday

The best that can be said ...is that it faithfully recreates the tone and rhythm of a second-rate American television program: New York Times

I give nothing away by telling you the president dies. From that point on, the film's most egregious offense is becoming predictable and heavy-handed: Chicago Sun-Times

The flaw in Death of a President... one of dramatic interest: Chicago Tribune

a marvelous feel for the clichés and conventions of TV-news documentary: Salon.com (a positve review)

façade of controversy ...delivering nothing remotely provocative: Metromix. com

NEED I POST MORE?

So what? None of those leftist sycophants are going to vote for anyone to the right of Karl Marx anyway.
