"Steal This Movie"
(Reviewed August 29, 2000)
As Abbie Hoffman, Vincent D'Onofrio acts as if he was hit in the hit by a two-by-four prior to shooting most of his scenes in this movie. From what I have seen of the real Hoffman, he was manic and animated and funny. D'Onofrio, however, plays him like a half-lobotomized schizophrenic. Also, there is absolutely no facial or physical resemblance between the actor and Hoffman whatsoever, which doesn't help things any.

Back Row Grade: D (instead of an F, because I did like the anti-government tone throughout. Vote Libertarian!)
