3.5/5
There is no mistaking Mr. Bugliosi's conviction, nor the thoroughness of his research, which largely concerns the Bush administration's claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Go to Full Review Michael Nordine Village Voice 10/02/2012
So unabashedly one-sided that the doc is problematic even when the facts and figures check out. Go to Full Review Prairie Miller Long Island Press 11/18/2012
There's a joke in the nazis on the moon sci-fi satire Iron Sky that the only fair fight the US ever had in its many assaults and invasions around the world, was with Hitler's Germany. Which is no laughing matter for Vincent Bugliosi or this documentary. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/27/2015 It's a film about the ideal marriage situation for Bill Clinton: Hillary dead. See more 10/16/2012 Despite the incendiary way the film is put together, Vincent Bugliosi provides us with a cohesive argument against the invasion of Iraq, as well as a convincing legal theory for trying George W. Bush for murder. This is a must see for anyone who wants to end an unconscionable war - and bring the perpetrators to justice! See more 10/16/2012 Incredible documentary, sheds a light on the Bush administration like never before. Will change your life and the way you view politics. MUST SEE. See more 10/16/2012 Detailed, with solid scholarship and a stirring case made by Bugliosi. This film will remind you about the Bush years, the way the administration distorted information from the intelligence community, and built a case to go to war with a nation that was not an imminent threat. For those of you who care about America's future, this is a must see. See more Read all reviews
