Well-made, but forgettable. The documentary style was convincing, and it was easy to connect with the people as though they were actually being interviewed. The events were fairly realistic imo, it was probably what woud happen. Dick Cheney coming to presidency and trying to pin the attack on Syria (his personal nemesis), conveniantly a Syrian citizen had some evidence against him. However (spoiler) It turned out to be a ex army officer, whos son was killed in Iraq. A third Patriot Act is introduced, giving even more power to the executives. And all in all, the so-called 'war on terror' continued all the stronger. What was dissapointing was the limited scope of the film- it failed to demonstrate the effects of the assassination beyond the US borders.

I guess some people seem to think that without Bush, or even Republicans, the majority of US corruption and problems would go away. But as this demonstrates that would by no means be the case.

Saw that the movie was mentioned on the local news a week or so ago, as it seems a lot of US folks are upset about it, and lots of theaters have already decided to ban it. I think people feeling that way is silly, and really hope I get to see the movie. Thanks for the review!

Yeh, if it glorified his death in any way I could see why there would be complaints, no matter how much some people hate him. But it actually made him out to be an allright guy in the interviews (though didn't really go into his competence, or lack of), and showed how America would be worse off if he was assassinated. But like I said, not much about how the rest of the world would be affected.

Guess no one else saw it then huh?

. Well what do you Americans think of the whole idea then? Do you think it was rightfully banned (in some cinemas)?

If George W. Bush put a movie out about killing the maker of the film, I'd watch it.

Of the movie, or the potential real-life scenario? I think either one would be very interesting to see.
