UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

ogtorrez Most of the characters were spot on. However, i don't know what footage Tim Bottoms used when he researched his Character. He had none of the inflections or mannerism of GW Bush. The way a person carries themselves is very telling of who that person is and I did not believe he was W. Bush. I liked the Condi character. i thought it was really her. The story line was about what you would expect for a movie to be heroic instead of being truthful. There seemed to be an opinion in the movie and that is not the purpose of good film. For true film lovers this falls flat. Of course, the story is powerful and we all know what happens. It was a sad day for the world and we can only hope that it will never happen again.

Arman_33 My god This has to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Did u see how they portray G.Bush as the "all knowing non-fearing leader", Condolizza Rice as the sweet smart lady that cries after seeing people on TV, Donald "Rumi" Rumsfield, and Dick Chainy, It made them look like they were the "true" leaders of peace. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I didn't laugh this hard in a while, I bet u that Bush didn't even lose any sleep and Rice never really cried. LMAO at how they made Donald Rumsfield look like he was the best Secretary of Defense there, and how Chainy is the quiet nice guy. I think who ever believes is just pure brainwashed from what they watch on CNN. I mean the media made one HUGE deal about Dick Chainy shooting his friend so they reduce stop the tension about what is going on in Iraq. People open your eyes, The Collapse of WTC was already planned, Don't Believe me?... Here is something that will change your mind (http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html). I will definitely be attending this and if you people also want to see the truth come as well. The Government is on the verge of world domination, they are about to cause a 3rd war right now on Iran, WHY?... Its definitely not about no fake Nukes, not about oil, but it's all about the value of the American dollar. You guys are probably confused but to understand what I'm talking about then please go and read books on what the U.S. is really about, and how it is Isreal's puppet. People lets not forget that we build this country as citizens and what did we get out of it, Major Tax cuts that keeps the low class even lower, or the heavy gas prices and much more other stuff. I am in a group of activist with my fellow mates at University and also part of a large summit that will soon impeach the president if god willing. People I am urging you to stop letting these people destroy not only our country but the whole world as well. Thank you for your time

LARSONRD Reading the other reviews of this film are telling - and I think the posting by dromasca told it all - most viewers are unable to shed their political leanings concerning films like this, and most reviews (positive and negative) seem to be borne from one's personal leanings in that regard. It would be interested to note if this film had been released before the end of 2001, would it have garnered more positive reviews? But now in the wake of FAHRENHEIT 9/11 (and by the way if you have seen that film you owe it to yourself to also see FAHREN-HYPE 9/11 just to get a balanced report - before making up your mind), this film seems to add more fuel to the Bushfires. I found it to be a compelling Showtime TV movie, focusing on the perspective of President George W. Bush in the week following the Sept 11th attacks on the USA. While the focus and timing (released on DVD just in time for the 2004 presidential election; although the film itself debuted on TV on Sep 7 2003) may suggest propaganda (and there may be just a bit of heavy handed pro-Bush emphasis; but then, the film is told from his perspective); however the film is excellently put together and was written by respected historical writer Lionel Chetwynd (who wrote the terrific IKE: COUNTDOWN TO D-DAY, and who reportedly had unprecedented access to the key White House personnel, including GW, to ensure the comprehensiveness and relative accuracy of his script). As a result, the film seems reasonably credible. It's fascinating to discover some of the innerworkings of our government on that dark day, and to depict the human side of GW, even while resurrecting strong emotions over the events of that day – events which many Americans seem to have forgotten in their rush to criticize foreign policy… Timothy Bottoms is outstanding in his portrayal of GW, resembling him as he does physically (ironically, he played GW on TV's irreverent THERE'S MY BUSH) many of the other cast members bear a striking resemblance to the people they play also (Ashcroft, Rice, Rumsfeld, Cheney).

Eric-62-2 Thank God for Lionel Chetwynd, because it means there is at least one filmmaker in Hollywood with enough sanity to deviate from the radical garbage of Michael Moore and his documented lies to just tell the truth about what happened on 9/11, which shows the courageous and effective response of our national leaders to the greatest tragedy in American history.Liberals who want to carp about a film that dares to show a positive depiction of President Bush have been pampered for years with fawning (and often not always accurate) portrayals of Democrat presidents in action (see the well-done "Missiles Of October" and the awful "Thirteen Days" for instance) that it speaks volumes to their general sense of intolerance to throw fits over a film that dares to show a positive depiction of a Republican president in action.But unlike liberal movies with their indulgence for hate-filled conspiracy rhetoric about conservatives and Republicans, there are no cheap shots thrown at Democrat politicians in this film. Sure, we hear talk about "changes in policy" but there are no direct digs at Bill Clinton which Chetwynd easily could have done. The intent, like "The Missiles Of October", is to recreate how our leaders acted in a time of crisis, and in that respect he succeeds brilliantly just like "The Missiles Of October" did for the Cuban Missile Crisis.The performances are outstanding. Timothy Bottoms nails W. down perfectly as do the rest of the cast (although I didn't think Lawrence Pressman quite got Dick Cheney). It's enough to make you at times think you're listening in on the real events as they unfolded.Bravo Lionel Chetwynd for providing people who understand the facts about 9/11 and President Bush for giving us a welcome antidote to the mountains of filth from the likes of Michael Moore and other self-hating Americans.
