Death of a President(2007)

OUR REVIEW

Who's in It: Hend Ayoub, Brian Boland, Becky Ann Baker, Robert Mangiardi, Jay Patterson, Jay Whittaker
The Basics: In the not-too-distant future, in addition to the sport of Rollerball, there will also be a successful attempt on the life of George W. Bush. This movie leaves out the Rollerball, though, and focuses on what happens after the president takes the bullet. And guess what? It turns out we look for a Muslim assailant first!

What's the Deal? I could appreciate this movie a whole lot more if it weren't so easy to figure out what's coming. That Muslim assailant? They find one, except he's not guilty. And who is? You'll have to see it to find out, but just pick the most obvious guy from the characters presented, and that's the one. It's as narratively lazy as it wants to be.
