Recount
(2008) NR
This made-for-TV, Emmy-winning film chronicles the extraordinary behind-the-scenes drama that unfolded in the weeks following the highly controversial 2000 election -- a presidential race that further split an already divided America. With the country's leadership hanging in the balance after the closest vote in history, the battle between George W. Bush and Al Gore would come down a hotly contested vote count in Florida. Kevin Spacey and Laura Dern (in a Golden Globe-winning role) star.





Movie #24 "Recount", a well- acted, taut drama concerning election day 2000 through the recount ending we know already, but the film is still able to build suspense, make you laugh/ cry/think about what IF all the votes were ever counted, a situtation so frustrating , that as I watched the pan of the boxed ballots in storage toward the end of the film, I thought: I'm retired. I could hand recount each one.
