Dumb pile of crap propaganda movie that deserved to fail for its uncommon level of stupidity. Gun control, Does. Not. Work. End of story. Criminals by definition do not follow the law, so passing more laws only serves to punish the law abiding. Statistically you are more likely to win the poweball while riding a horse getting struck by lightning in the USA (.003%) than being killed by a gun here. America doesn't have a gun problem... it has a stupid liberal problem.

Great movie - a peak into the US political machine; certainly only a hint of how DC really works. The movie is not about gun control - anyone who thinks it is, has missed the point. Lots of twists and turns. The only area in need of improvement was the periodic mumbling of actors (or maybe poor quality sound), which made it difficult to discern a few conversations, however, overall it was a captivating movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and wish it had stayed in theaters longer. The story itself, the twists and machinations, were what made the film so enjoyable. To those debating gun control in these reviews - it was a film about a lobbyist. There had to be some issue to lobby for (or against). It had to be a controversial issue or there would be no reason for a lobbyist. It could have been about school prayer or freedom of the press or any one of a dozen controversial topics. The topic itself is ancillary to what makes the movie enjoyable and watchable.
