I just plopped "Recount" into the DVD. Is this going to confirm the known? Or piss me off even more?

1. Both...
Very worth watching, though (Spacey & Leary are GREAT in it!)

2. Both. It's a good flick, though. Kevin Spacey is great.
As is the guy who plays Baker (I forget his name).

3. OMG. James Baker! That asshole who kept saying
"recount after recount after recount, over and over and over", and "rule of law". (When the truth was some ballots had NEVER been counted!)

I may have to puke, but I want to see this now.

4. Tom Wilkinson, great choice to play Baker given that he almost always plays villains

5. Confirm what you already know, but you'll laugh a bit and maybe even cry
Actually I learned from it because I was too young in 2000 to follow the entire saga closely.

6. It's a terrific movie, well worth watching,
tells a pretty complete story, details we all should know. The characters are excellent, especially Kevin Spacey and Dennis Leary. The only drawback, which you already know, is that it has a tragic ending, just like "Titanic," which you know is coming...:-(

7. I felt as if it was watching a train wreck that you knew was coming, but it's very well done.
Hard to watch, but worth watching for sure. Just remember, the nightmare is almost over.

8. Even though I know how it ended beforehand,
I kept hoping beyond hope it would end differently. I don't know why I had that feeling all through that movie.

9. It just pissed me off. I had to turn it off.
I need to have hope for a happy ending when I watch movies.
