"Recount" is about the 2000 U.S. presidential election and the controversy surrounding it. It's certainly biased towards the democratic camp, but if you'll keep that in mind, you'll find the movie to be very informative and more importantly honest. The acting was surprisingly well done, but apart from the subject it is a somewhat bland film. 3/5.

I tend to give leeway to political-oriented movies in narrative, and thus once again the stars I'm giving are somewhat generous. Back in 2000, I was gripped by this recount and saw the news all day, but never knew that it could become a proper thriller like Jay Roach made. Great job!

One of HBO films that retell the stories of influential political events in recent years. A good example of the problems that a complex political system like the American one can make and how the partisan idiosyncrasies are exalted on confrontations. Solid writing and acting across the board.

Liberals try and steal and election.

A great film about the struggle of the 2000 presidential recount process, Kevin Spacey delivers, as usual. Pacing is a little strange, though.

This the second HBO considering an elections I've seen, Game Change being the other one, and I must say that I really dig the general style of em. Not too fancy, and this one (Way better than Game Change, which had some awkward crowd scenes without a crowd) really felt like it fit the scale of what was happening.

That, coupled with great acting and a story I wasn't up to date on the details on (being European and 6 while all this was happening made it go right by me. How weird...) had me interested for almost two hours. I say interested, because I wasn't really that engaged. It could have been cut down a bit I feel.

Good, not great.

I can't claim I enjoyed watching this movie because the events depicted made me so angry I considered switching it off halfway through. The fact that I knew the outcome from the beginning probably made it even worse. However, there's no denying that the movie is very well-made and extremely well-acted by its wonderful cast and is definitely worth watching for that reason alone. It's also worth a look for anyone who doesn't know/remember a lot about what exactly happened back then.
