There's no suspense about the outcome, but following the twisted, oftentimes maddening journey to that point is filled with tension and dark humor.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The movie possesses an underlying smugness that seems to say that all would be well in the world today if only Al Gore had eked out a win that fateful November and December - a conclusion that is impossible to reach.

New York Post
It's so suspenseful that it's easy to forget that you already know how it ends.

Rating: 9.5/10 --
This film does an honest and fair job of presenting the facts in as complete a picture as two hours could possibly allow.

IGN Movies
The tension that swirled around thousands of disputed Florida ballots after the November 2000 election was almost Shakespearean... Recount effectively dramatizes that struggle.

New York Daily News
Even when the complicated political and legal machinations are handled gracefully, Recount doesn't have time to give these people depth or render their unique situations with sufficient shadings of complexity.

3.5 stars out of 4 -- Kevin Spacey is in top form....And Denis Leary makes every line ring bitterly funny and true....RECOUNT is exciting entertainment...

Product Description:
An all-star cast heads this gripping look at the 2000 presidential election and its aftermath. Hanging chads, uncounted votes, and a controversial Supreme Court decision elected President George W. Bush in one of the most contested elections in American history. By turns hilarious and tragic, RECOUNT follows the central players on both sides of the aisle--including Al Gore's former Chief of Staff, Ron Klaine (Kevin Spacey); Republican advisor James Baker (Tom Wilkinson); and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris (Laura Dern)--as they vie to determine the next President of the United States. Using real-life footage and actual dialogue, this political drama offers an illuminating recount of one of the defining moments of the 21st century.
