B   Boston Globe Ty Burr "...turns out to be rather less than the sum of its headlines." more... C   Chicago Sun-Times Richard Roeper "...more offensive as a concept than as a work of film." more... C- Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "This is not an ignoble effort, and the technical craft is clever throughout. But that's pretty much all it is." more... C   Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "...begins as a disturbingly clever stunt but concludes as a contradiction, a political nightmare of haunting banality." more... B+ filmcritic.com Chris Cabin "...not only has a smarter satirical stab, its technical merits are beyond reproach." more... B+ New York Post Kyle Smith "The only thing that's shocking about Death of a President is how boring it is." more... D- New York Times A. O. Scott "...neither terribly outrageous nor especially heroic..." more... C   ReelViews James Berardinelli "It's neither interesting nor convincing." more... C   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "I think the failure of the movie as drama or political provocation makes it unworthy of fuss." more... C- San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...tasteless, creepy..." more... D+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker "...it's more than simply a well-crafted piece of fake history." more...
