I tried hard not to spoil anything, but English is not my first language so be careful reading it...
I purchased the lions-gate DVD through Amazon because (1) I always try to purchase DVDs from the country of origin, and (2) the distributor in Japan got a rejection from Japanese variant of MPAA. I heard about the title, I heard that it is not available for a wide distribution in the US just like "Commandante" (which is my favorite documentary about Cuba), so I was excited that I got the DVD.
So I played the DVD. The dialog of the very first actor appears on the screen was really something. So, I got really excited. I did not check the package of DVD well enough... my jaw dropped onto the floor when the President appeared on the screen. I could not understand how this was made possible. Every time the plot got twisted, my jaw dropped repeatedly. When the final twist is presented, I could not do anything but cry, think, think hard, and harder, about the main topic of the film.
The film is NOT about the assassination of *a* President.
Be very careful watching the film, especially try to catch the culture, the English dialect, and every minor details.
In my opinion the film is a must-see to graduate from grade school.
