"Death of a President" dies

It seems that the movie Death of a President got panned at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Gabriel Range's "Death of a President" was criticized for a dramatic collapse after the president is killed.

"'Death of a President' does not have the requisite brains to take on its conservative targets, much less exploit the potential or implications of its own gimmick," wrote New York Times critic Manohla Dargis.

"Marred by unpersuasive performances and sloppy errors, the film is all setup and no payoff. It also manages to be another presumably political film without any actual politics."

What the critics need to understand is that the movie is nothing but a left-liberal fantasy. The entire point of making it was to see George W Bush get shot and killed. After that the movie falls apart because what would come next wasn't the point.
