There was an urgency to GNGL that W. just didn't have. W. just seemed to go through the motions and I think for me personally I talk about politics so much with friends and anyone that will listen that there just wasn't anything new for me.

(as you said) It could've been something that simply said: "I thing GWB was an absolutely crap pres." but then why make a film instead of simply giving statements to the media anytime you can. If it was the intention to show people what happened (allthough not a completely unbiased view) to get people to think about it and about what next then no, it will not be an exciting flick. (for that we'll have to wait for Mr. Bay's remake) How does it compare to something like Good Night and Good Luck? Which allso wasn't an exciting film but it was captivating.
