Roger Stone in one of America's worst people. He started out doing dirty tricks for Nixon; he made his money as a lobbyist for some terrible governments; now he's a confidant of Donald Trump. In a healthy society, Stone (and any politican who worked with him) would be shunned. This account of his story is consistently fascianting, and a tale of much of what has gone wrong with American politics.And yet, although the documentary is critical in tone, I suspect Stone loves it. A man who revels in his own notoriety, he is given plenty of screen time to speak for himself; while numerous others, friend and foe alike, take turns to testify to his evil genius. For anyone who dislikes the man, there's plenty of grist to the mill here. But how do you shame the shameless? Not, perhaps, by allowing them to star what is essentially a 90 minute promo vehicle. The real tragedy is less that people like Stone exist; but that we allow them to polllute the public space.

I didn't know RS ties went so deep. I am not a fan of his. But I do like Trump.All the tricks, and the left is still by far more evil and radical. Good videoBe sure to vote for Trump in 2020 and keep the power out of the radical lefts hands. Anyone that thinks Hillary would of been good for America is mistaken.

This documentary is actually very funny. Stone recognizes from the outset that the fact that an entire doc is being done on him means that liberals are scared as hell. He's very open that "the evil guy who scares liberals" is simply a character he uses while doing his work, he even mocks the interviewer constantly for taking the character too seriously, but it appears that the thing must be done.Stone is portrayed as a cunning political operative who "pioneered" the art of using tactics in the US, like false rumors and scaremongering, that the CIA had already used overseas for some decades, and indeed have often been part of American history. He doesn't really stand out as a genius tactician, but rather as someone who's very clever and learns through experience exactly what he can get away with. One fairly interesting fact is that he himself switched parties from Republican to Libertarian, which exposes him as a bit quirky.The director, though, is clearly worse than quirky, as he deadpans the entire thing and paints Stone as a Grand Moff Tarkin or some Disney movie villain's assistant character. We hear from multiple people that Stone is evil personified, or whatever. I regret to inform the director that Harry Potter is just a story.I rate this 2 stars because the purpose of the documentary is to make people anxious and scared. It's a product of a completely demented, senile liberal culture that's unable to do anything but rack up big psychiatrist bills. I have to condemn the movie for preying on American's weakest links, the liberals. Watch in the right frame of mind, though, and you'll be laughing quite frequently.

About midway through the documentary, Tucker Carlson asks "Is it more brilliant and impressive to influence world events, or to stand on the periphery of world events and yet get recorded as having influenced world events."While he was referring specifically to Roger Stone's self-proclaimed crucial role in getting George W. Bush elected in 2000, Carlson's question could apply to almost every major moment in Stone's life.Unfortunately, the documentary does not question whether Stone is actually a major figure in American politics, but rather, takes Stone at his word that he is. Thus the documentary isn't so much a look at Stone's life as much as it is a look at Stone taking credit for everything - especially the ascendancy of Donald Trump to the Presidency. Donald Trump is the supporting actor of this documentary, second fiddle to Roger Stone, who is seemingly the mastermind of his entire candidacy. The problem, however, lies in the film's inability to provide much supporting evidence that Stone is really as important as he claims to be. For example, there are montages which show Stone saying something on a radio show followed by Trump saying the same thing on the campaign trail. But, we are never given much context for these clips. Is Trump repeating Stone or is Stone repeating Trump? Is Stone the only one making these campaign talking points that Trump is repeating, or are others as well? Without context, these lingering ambiguities make it more difficult to conclude that Stone was a major player in the Trump candidacy. Additionally, Stone is given such an out sized role in the Trump candidacy that other crucial members of the Trump campaign - specifically, Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway - are barely mentioned. And while there is no doubt Trump did associate with Stone, the extent to which Stone helped elect Trump beyond securing the vote of the Alex Jones/InfoWars audience remains questionable. The documentary is well-made and offers much in the way of flash and bedazzle, primarily due to its flamboyant and outrageous star, but it offers little of actual substance. In a sense, the documentary itself has been co opted by Stone for his own benefit to make sure, as Tucker Carlson said, that he is at least recorded as having influenced world events. Whether he has or not, remains a mystery unexplored by the documentary.
