The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A documentary exploring the life and career of notorious Republican dirty trickster and longtime Trump adviser, Roger Stone, who helped create the real-estate mogul's political career.As I write this (June 2017), Donald Trump is the president of the United States. Despite polls to the contrary, he won the election and has taken the reins with his unique style of governing. How did this happen? Where did Trump come from? Although Roger Stone has been around since Watergate, his name may not be all that well known beyond those who are into political minutia. Here, we see how he was behind Nixon, Reagan, Trump and more, with a blend of dirty tricks, and conservative libertarianism. How the far right has become mainstream slowly but surely.I can only wait until the FBI files on Stone someday become public... and then we will see that not only was he involved in much of American political history, but perhaps much of the secret history as well. The last word on Watergate is yet to come.

It is an important documentary to get background information on the ugly politics business in the U.S.A. when it is voting time. Do we have to thank the film team for this effort? Definitely. But they couldn't have done this without the fundamental trait which is driving Roger Stone in front. His ego which want to be remembered in history and do not want to be forgotten. When his pure ego is getting predominant he gives information away he would definitely deny at another time. With additional intelligence on the consulting company of Roger the movie shows clearly how the Trump voters get fooled by the same people who are pulling the strings since decades. Is Roger Stone entertaining and the movie funny? - Everyone who gets a malicious joy out of the misfortune of other people will find it funny and thrilling and Roger Stone admirable. Others will find the movie educational - it depicts human hubris on large scale.

I watched the whole thing. Can't they just accept the result of the election?The process is flawed? Sure! Are political strategists (on both sides) angels? No! So, what's new?The "documentary", so to speak, tries to persuade (who?) that republicans are the only ones to use dirty tricks to win elections. Really, guys?It is a new low for the left. Shame on them.

this is a 9/10, but I had to give it 10/10 because of all those that vote 1/10 out of personal hate.I like this documentary a lot, I expected it to be leaning left, left to the extreme, but it it is well balanced on right and left i thought considering who this was about.late night with steven kolbert got me to listen/watch a few episodes of Alex Jones, which got me to listen to Roger Stone. Alex Jones might have some crazy ideas, but it is easy to filter out truth from conspiracy by searching on both left and right viewpoint and go with the logical choice, but this was not about him, this was about Roger Stone.It is remarkable how much this man have influenced American politics for so long. did they create the cigarette smoking man from x files after Roger Stone ? I really enjoyed this one and if you have political interest you will like this too
