Sorry, this movie sucks

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Unprecedented – the 2000 presidential elections is a movie all real Americans must watch. It is a sickening look at just how corrupt our nation's political parties have become. It happens in this case that the total lack of integrity falls on the republicans. Improper, almost criminal, activities of the supreme court, Katherine Harris and her entire office, Jeb Bush and his entire office, dozens of congressmen and senators, scores of aides. All of them stealing the birth right of Americans to suite their own nefarious need for power and the subjugation of the democratic process within our republic. The real question is not who was actually elected president, but whether true Americans can learn from this travesty and take back America from the hands of these two despicable, corrupt, and immoral political parties.

I just want to say a couple of things and then I will shut up. Watching this film convinced me specifically of only a few things. And one of those things is that the Political Institutions of the Republican and Democratic Parties are totally corrupt and insane. Furthermore, it is my belief, especially after watching this film, you would have to literally be crazy to vote either Democratic or Republican, because this film made it clear that either party was only concerned about doing what they needed to win the 2000 election, or any election for that matter--NOT WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PEOPLE OR THE COUNTRY. I could go into detail about this, but feel it would be beating a dead horse. This is why I feel all Americans should always vote for 3rd parties and go out of their way NOT to vote Democrat OR Republican. Finally, I have been convinced that Democrats or Republicans have no business counting any votes because it is a conflict of interest on both sides for any election. Members of 3rd parties should be the only ones running election boards, & etc. because it has become obvious they are the only ones that could be trusted to be impartial if anyone at all. Lastly, completely automated (computer) voting machines are not to be trusted, as they come down to the persons who program and/or work on them. As someone who is highly knowledgeable of computers and their flaws, I have to tell you that there is no computer that cannot be hacked, no network that cannot be compromised. If you think that there is any chance an election can be fixed, computer voting centers should scare the pants off you, and automated (computer) voting should be visciously avoided and voted against by everyone who values the value of their vote. RATING: 8/10. By the way, I think having Danny Glover at the bookends of this film discredits it for anyone who has followed his political activism/extremism. I think that people on both sides of the fence, and those sitting on it, should watch films like these and Danny Glover alienates many potential watchers of this film. That's all from me for now.

To simply dismiss this documentary as liberal nonsense is ridiculous. As the documentary points out there are a number of outstanding issues which need to be addressed and simply haven't been. For example, the fact that Katherine Harris, as Secretary of State took part in certifying vote counts, denying the extension of the certification date, etc. is astounding. The clear conflicts of interest (since she played a role in Bush's election campaign) were simply ignored.Additionally, there are a number of possible civil rights violations (with respect to an individual's right to vote) that might have occurred, but which have not been investigated (such as incorrectly labeling a incredibly large number of votes as felons and thus precluding their ability to vote).But the documentary doesn't provide a complete picture as it doesn't really represent the "republican" perspective.

Coming away from this "documentary", you "learn" that all Republicans are evil and that democrats actually aren't interested in winning presidential elections, they only want a fair voting system. To quote Kronk, "Rrrrright."Katharine Harris, Jeb Bush, and company are portrayed in an unfairly negative light and the "filmmakers" try to Monday morning quarterback how exactly Al Gore lost the liberal-haven that is Florida. Rather than put the blame on ignorant old people who wasted their votes on Pat Buchanan, they want you to believe that steps taken to prevent felons from voting were actually designed to keep black people from voting for Gore. Uh-huh.The more convincing point is that an overwhelming majority of felons (and suspected felons) vote democrat. "Everyone's a democrat...until they get money." Two seconds are spent on the Gore's team decision to pursue JUST a recount of the four overwhelmingly Democratic counties rather than all of the counties in the state.Pretty odd that all the people interviewed are democrats bitching because Gore lost and all are presented as good citizens who just want a fair election...that will put a Democrat in office.
