Recount, an efficient and relentless enactment of the strategists on both sides of the Florida controversy, shows an accident that was waiting to happen.

The movie doesn't embrace its potential for farce, for suspense, or for outrage. Ultimately, the filmmakers could have punched a little harder.
Matthew Gilbert, Boston Globe
Rotten
A splendid cast mostly just sits around watching the bad news on television, dutiful to the letter of Danny Strong's conscientious script yet insufficiently roused to righteous spirit even as, before their eyes, our republic gets banana'd.
John Leonard, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
An astute and deliciously engrossing film.
Alessandra Stanley, New York Times

Roach gets a lot of suspenseful mileage out of these ping-ponging reversals of fortune.
