This Revolution (2005)
worthwhile if expectations are realistic
If you're looking for a glossy, slick, highly produced movie then pass this one by. This movie doesn't fit into that bracket, and there's really no harm to it in not doing so.
The movie would of perhaps carried more weight if it presented or at least made a token attempt to present a balance of view. It doesn't so if you don't have at least a small degree of sympathy for a liberal or left-wing view... again pass it by.
Otherwise the film is quite enjoyable. It managed to engage me with the characters who are embroiled in the frustration of trying to have some sort of impact on a political system that's been pulled away from them by corporate interests. I watched it on a Sunday afternoon, and it fitted the mood well.
If you're not American the film might also be worth having a gander at if only to broaden the view of the American people from outside which can tend to narrow in on the gingoistic and right-wing. I was heartened to see the film made for this reason alone.
