... View MoreWhat if George W. Bush had been assassinated and the ex-CEO of Halliburton, Dick Cheney was sworn in as U.S. President? An interesting peek at an alternate reality in which the media, racism and knee-jerk reactions combine to reach an outcome. Sounds a little familiar.This does require a certain level of concentration: don't expect to sit back and let a storyline wash over you - you'll have to pay attention. If you do you will enjoy a clever and pretty slick recreation of events that never happened.It is a clever and snappy commentary of our times.It also seems quite timely considering the irresponsible hatred and vitriol directed at Obama by a few loud nut-bags.
... View MoreI bought this movie on a pure whim of decent premise. The back eludes to neither pro or anti-bush, and even quotes how it's made for "thinkers". This is all garbage. Basically, you're gonna assume it'll start off with Bush getting picked off somehow by some dubious fellow, and move onto an intriguing "what-if" scenario. Questions riddled my head, "wonder what Chaney would do much different?", "how would the U.S. really respond?", "what would become of Bush's course of actions?", "what would happen in 2008? 2018? 2050?", "how would the rest of the world view this?". But forget all that, you're set on a journey of 30% anti-Bush protests news clips before death, 60% forensic "whodunit", 10% no freedom wagon.Firstly, this movie is overwhelmingly anti-Bush with the only pro-remarks coming from his speech writer (all mainly personal, not political). Second, this is NOT a political movie, it's a murder mystery you don't care about because it didn't happen. Even when it mentioned Chaney moving up to presidency I perked up for a moment, as if the opening credits ended and the movie were about to begin, but no, no, back to some fictional trial with a bunch of malarkey about evidence. It's fictional, make overwhelming evidence, make the assassin found dead, and give us a political yarn to unravel.This movie deserves to be protested, shot, then put on fictional trial before we all come together and whine about crappy movies.
... View Morei tried to sit through this heap of horse manure but had to shut it off it became obvious bush and his rejects made this film to try to buy sympathy for poor bushie full of manure awful is not even enough to say how bad this joke is. Its pure propaganda and a silly attempt to lead America astray again. I wish they would have at least gotten a real actor bush cant even speak straight let alone act like hes a good guy. Hitler envies satanist bush and demon cheney. Its nothing but a sad movie trying to get you to feel bad because bush has such a hard time trying to destroy America and freedom so we should all feel bad for him. Watch this if you want to try trough you valuable time away i wish i could get my time back it would have been better spent defecating or sleeping or anything else.
... View MoreI heard of the movie last year and was of course quite curious about it and while on vacation in June in SanFrancisco found it in a video store and when I came back to purchase it the next day it was already gone.And after searching in my neighborhood for it was able to find it and was able to get a copy of it and watched it today.And it was excellent because it looked so real that it was hard to believe that none of it was true.And the way the real footage of President Bush and VicePresident Cheney was put in the story made it all more believable. And since it was cast with unknown actors all of whom did excellent jobs in their roles that helped to make it even more believable.And in my humble opinion I think that this movie should be shown uncut on TV so that more people should be able to see it.
