25. I expect the movie will be much better than what the critics say
I have a feeling that it may be a movie that does not catch on right away with the general public, but people who know what is going on with the electronic voting machines will really like it.

The early reviews suggest that it is a movie that is unwilling to take a serious stand because it ignores big divisive issues such as Iraq, but I would argue that was a very smart move for them to avoid any strong partisan stances and focus on election fraud. They need to educate people who are not normally paying close attention to politics, and keeping away from the divisive issues will get independents and conservatives to think about this issue that generally gets ignored.

Sure there have been several movies that dealt with election fraud in the past, but to my knowledge this is the first one that deals with a type of election fraud that is currently taking place and that is why this is so significant.

So my advice is ignore the reviews and just go no matter what, even if you don't like Robin Williams (who I think is a great actor) if this film has a big opening weekend it could bring a lot of attention to this issue.
