    An interesting story with strong chemistry between the leads, Crooker and Dawson. Recommended.

    I had such mixed feelings on this. It had some good thoughts in it. But the acting (minus rosario dawson who pretty much always rocks) was for the most part terrible. It seemed cheesy at times and overly simplified. And MTVish. But there were a few really nice moments. Mayb...( read more)e like 7 minutes worth. Overall though, I thought it was rather cheeseball. And the actual cinematography blew, except for about 5 minutes. The soundtrack was overbearing as well.

    I found this film to be provocative and thought-provoking despite some radical conspiracy theories prevalent in the film. It is mainly set during the Republican National Convention in NY. It's definitely not cinematographically stunning, but the lack of finesse allows for a rea...( read more)lness of the film. In fact, some of the scenes were taken of actual events that occured; including Rosario Dawson's arrest. A strong movie with strong views.

    Of course, more movies are made about this current US vs. Alotta-people war than any other previously. That?s because this war started because of an incident in the US, it?s dragged on for a long time, and anyone with a digital camera and an idea can make a movie. And this is one...( read more) of those movies. There is no real story, just a lot of ideas for scenes and diatribes, and while I understand that the movie was rewritten because Rosario Dawson was arrested while filming, literally, and they got the footage, it still seems like they could have stood to have another pass at unifying the themes. However, Dawson is great, as is the main guy and the craft of the movie isn?t bad. The bad acting by side players is distracting. Nice try but maybe film something you didn?t write.

    Rosario Dawson made this film come alive with the small nuances. It's not an amazing film but it will leave you thinking about the media and its place in our society.
