Recount (2008)
In 2000, the election of the U.S. Presidential boiled down to a few precious votes in the state of Florida — and a recount that would add "hanging chad" to every American's vocabulary.

That was an excellent one.
Sorry, this movie sucks
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Base on a true story of the 2000 president election Florida recount between Vice President Al Gore and The then Governor of Texas George W. Bush, at first we all think Gore wins Florida thus making him the 43rd President! but wait, now the state goes to Bush! And now both sides are at war over who actually won Florida? did Bush really won the state or was Gore the winner of Florida in the first place. Kevin Spacey plays ( Ron Klain ) Denis Leary plays ( Michael Whouley ) who uses more cuss words then any other actor in the movie.Laura Dern who plays the Secretary of State Katherine Harris won a Golden Globe award for her performance, and I think she deserved it To! Directed by Jay Roach of Austin Powers, Meet The Parents, Mystery Alaska, I thought he did a wonderful job of this HBO TV movie, this was also the time of Bush's last year in office and Obama's road to the white house.I give it ten stars because it is a great film!
Who would of thought of that elections can bring so much of suspension and fun. And wow Kevin Spacey, oh boy do I like to watch him act.Well what can we say about this film and events surrounding elections of 2000? I wonder did everyone involved thought that things they were doing in late 2000 will come back to the in the fall of 2001? I doubt that anybody really knew how much world was REALLY watching, and training flying without take off and landing. Hm. Makes one think, doesn*t it? It was always interested why people in the USA vote Republican? I would never do that. If I understood well George W. Bush ushered era which was unthinkable in its cruelty to most Americans. I think it would be easier to vote Democrat in the future. Democratic Presidents are so much more fun and cute :) Makes you wish give them a blow job :) Another smiley, Kevin Spacey type :))))))
My local library has done it again. Placed on it's shelf another really great movie I've never heard of. Pretty easy pick when I saw it was about the 2000 Presidential election. Like most i was watching that November night when all measure of political insanity broke out. I was videotaping that night and now (even though Gore "lost"),I wish I'd saved that tape.Most of us out there know the storyline and has been covered here. I can commend the creators very highly on this for bringing a very detailed & as truthful as possible telling of all that went wrong. A lot of what went wrong existed before the election even began.The cast here plays each singular role in a manner that makes you feel you are watching exactly what these people felt at that time. They never makes the person their portraying into a 2 dimensional cartoon. Some here feel the movie is leaning in favor of the Democrats as the good guys & the GOP the bad. What I saw was that Gore's supporters wanted to play fair as possible and the GOP well,they didn't. I'm not trying to say "all" republicans are like that but given what happened that night and up until Nov. 2008,no one should be surprised at how they are depicted here. I still feel the storytelling was as fair as possible to both parties and former candidatesI honestly did feel the sense of loss all over again,when (on the phone) Gore tells Kevin Spacey "I can't win." "Even if I win,I lose". The end of the film is an unfortunate reminder of what was to come next for the U.S. , but if you haven't seen this,I wont give it away. I will say there have been good made for TV movies but for some reason,HBO seems to make better ones. 10 stars,count 'em 10. {END}
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
