I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good concept, poorly executed.

A Masterpiece!

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Its hard to review this title without personal political opinions getting in the way. I was a huge Gore supporter in 2000, and I had the 'we was robbed' feeling so many shared. I've done quite a bit of research since and I now believe the entire affair was handled correctly. Recount' is a brilliant production, and the liberal bias is predictable, if not quaint.At the end of the day, Ted Olson had it right, votes in one county/precinct are apples to oranges when these counties have different counting standards. The US Supreme Count's 7-2 finding of disenfranchisement of voters could be precedent. This is a major reason that "popular vote" will never decide presidential elections. A vote in Wyoming is very different than a vote in California where voter registration is absurdly lenient.This is an immensely entertaining film, regardless of one's political leanings. I think even GOP supporters would admit Katherine Harris was a disaster. This film was released in the spring of 2008, no doubt to remind viewers that the Dems were robbed. In my view, the 2000 Florida election would have been problematic either way it was decided. The vote tally was so close with nearly 6 million votes, a difference in the 100s is statistically a fluke. The GOP was ruthless, but, the Dems constantly wanting recounts until one went their way was equally ridiculous.

All the conservative reviews are here on the last page, and Jesse Jackson is no where to be found to defend our rights? Sigh.I give this movie a positive review because it deserves it. It was a GREAT movie, in fact, until you quickly begin to notice the bias. So as a film the director did make an attempt to be even-handed and not REALLY make the Bush camp out to be villains. The acting was indeed superb but, again, the direction was fantastic - specifically the editing.Here's the major problem, previously mentioned: it is clearly, maybe not overtly, but clearly biased. Please read sychonic's and kingarthurups reviews above (well maybe ignore, kingarthurups forehead comments). Although a bit heated, they are very accurate to the tone and bias of the movie. For instance, they make the Republican demonstrators out to be lunatics. They dedicate 66% to 75% of the movie to the Gore camp - seriously, time it.But in particular look at the U.S. Supreme court proceedings. I have to criticize the director's decision to widdle this down to 3 minutes. The arguments here were key. But more importantly, as Spacey's character says, "this is it!" This should have been THE climax of the film. I was a first year law student when this event occurred and we were all focused on the appellate court hearing in front of the supreme court. Barry Richards, attorney for Bush, ... well it would only be a SLIGHT exaggeration to say that he SLAYED Gore's attorney. The points were valid and hard hitting. In this movie? Let's put it this way. The role was so small, Barry Richard's name isn't even listed in the credits. Compare to David Boies played by Ed Begley, jr. who got to look like a saint/martre with the final last implore to the decency of humanity. Shees! Again, I highly recommend watching the movie but the many "reviewers" above declaring that this film is fair are clearly delusional and frankly have no business writing a "fair and balanced" review.

The incredible mess of an election in year 2000, forever altered the worlds perception of the USA. The ridiculous fact that you can lose the election with the majority of the votes would be enough, but when the courts decide the winner, it is hard to sustain the self-deluding image of the last great Western democracy. Even if we make allowances for the artistic liberty, this smart political movie clearly shows the dire predicament in which we found ourselves. The extreme closeness of this race forced us to face the inadequacies in our system. Sadly, 10 years later almost nothing changed. The ship is sinking, and the rats will soon be leaving.

I am a liberal and thought this would be a good movie to support my views on what I believe happened in the 2000 election.I got 15 minutes into the movie to the point where they flash the news organizations calling the election and there was no mention of Faux news, I watched for a couple more minutes and shut it off.To make a movie about the 2000 election and not put Faux news front and center when they are the ones who anointed bush the winner that night is a gross injustice, an injustice enough for me to turn off the movie and anger me enough to write this.In 1988 I went to the dollar movies and seen Salsa and I thought it was the worst film ever made but I would rather watch it again than watch this garbage.Oran
