    This is a great movie. The info is dangerous and if it wasn't so dang true, I would say that it should be more entertaining. Honestly, the info is the lure not the production. MUST SEE!

    How do I make a choice if I don't have the information necessary to do so. Sometimes the truth is painful yet it is the truth, and I want to know it. Thank you Aaron for providing information I can research and decide for myself.

    This film shows the way America is headed. I knew that eventually the anti-christ will come, and eventually enforce the mark of the beast. (in the right arm of forehead) that will be the only means to buy,sell, and trade things. I realized that with National ID cards about to come out (May of This year), it would only be a matter of time before the anti-christ begins to untie the world under one government. This movie points out evidence that even I didn't know existed, (I am always well researched on current times) Soon, the end will begin... after a large group of people disappear from the face of the earth. (the rapture) I had no idea our time was so short... Expand

    This stuff has been going on a long time. But don't take Russo's word for it: study for yourself... or, go back to sleep. It's your choice.

    Even though the biased critics think this movie is "messy", they don't keep in mind that this is a very low budget film that Aaron put together himself. This movie will open your eyes to the corruption in our government. Don't let the media and critics stop you from watching it, it's something all Americans should research and know. Open your eyes and ask questions!! And for those of you who think this isn't true...why are the people being sued over income tax judgments WINNING? Get a clue!! There ISN'T a law that makes you pay income tax...it's VOLUNTARY...it says so in their code! Expand

    Who carse if Russo is accurate or not. Who cares if his views are shared by the audience, the movie keeps you riveted to your seat like any good movie should, and, like any good movie, this one stays with you. Great work Aaron, I hate your politics but I love your movie.

    If the info in this movie is true, then we should be cautious with web sites like this. I put my info out there in order to rate the movie. My luck big bro set this up and they will be here soon to take me away for no aparent reason. The movie just heightened my own fears. Any American out there with half a brain out there has to realize that the government definately has a great deal of influence in our small insignificant lives. I live by my understanding of the rules to the best of my abilities with the intention of conforming to being a Good American. I pay taxes. My father showed me how to fill out all the paper work when I was 18. The next year he started investigating things closer. He was the one that turned me onto this movie. He turned me onto books like, "If you are the defendant," and, "The biggest tax loophole of all," and I hadn't read either for last year thinking my dad was a nut. This movie has spurred me to read this books now and I am interested to see what kind of information people encourage me to investigate in them. We should fear when people try to hide things from us, not bring them to light. Expand

    This movie is the BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every American should see this film and if they think that it is okay that the IRS / World Bank should be doing any of this stuff after they have watched the entire movie, they need to go right away to get a micro chip in their body so that the IRS can stalk them all of their life and make sure that they don't hurt themselves because obviously, that person has no brains. Jesus is coming back soon for us all be ready!!! Expand

    Gives the Michael Moore muckraking-underdog treatment to the kind of delirious conspiracy theories generally associated with mentally ill homeless people screaming at passersby to stop stealing their brainwaves.

    From the tax debate, the documentary suddenly gets scattershot, going after the Patriot Act, laws against vitamin sales, election fraud, and Hurricane Katrina response (apparently a plot to grab people's guns), building to the standard New World Order line, which discredits any valid points Russo may have.

    Aaron Russo's America: Freedom to Fascism can't even think straight, it's so mad.
