...needs a moment to define himself away from his two-term predecessor. Bush's father waited until the G.O.P. convention to break with Reagan, rolling out his controversial "kinder, gentler" slogan. Gore simply kept Clinton at arm's length from early in his quest, hoping he'd take the hint. Both of those aspiring successors were dealing with incumbents whose numbers were still relatively healthy - Bush's, by contrast, are stuck in the low thirties and not likely to go anywhere with the economy worsening.

I can certainly say that if this movie cannot match the high moral sentiments of, say, Schindler's List , it is, on its much smaller scale, a very good movie, which like Spielberg's masterpiece, offers us a shifty central figure, whose much less certain redemption is fascinating to observe. The Counterfeiters leaves us pondering this question: When government itself becomes fully criminalized, does our hope of surviving its depredations depend not on brave acts of resistance...
