Review: Swing Vote (2008)

Rating:★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Comedy

It's a funny take on the upcoming US elections... The future of the most powerful country in the world rests upon the vote of a man who was never concerned about anything other than himself. The political machinery of both prominent candidates descended upon an unknown town in New Mexico all to get that man's vote. The movie questions the willingness of candidates to put principles in the backburner just to get the vote, and gives a glimpse of how outsiders, particularly international media, would react to the political mudslinging. It also touched upon the relevant issues the two real-life candidates must address in their campaigns prior to November's polls; some of these issues are the influx of immigrant workers and the debate on pro-life vs pro-choice. In the end, the results of the election is never shown, and the movie never suggested which of the two candidates won.
