03/21/2012 Based on the times of Abbie Hoffman speaking out in the 60s against vietnam and various other things, wanted by the F.B.I and going on the run, and F.B.i corruption, was part of his story and depicted here, D'onorfrio is a good watch and the look of the film feels very authentic especially a 2000 film, archive footage and montage also helping out, yet another in a long line of 60s american history and while not fantastic a interesting watch. See more 10/10/2011 Not much to say here, the acting was cringe worthy. The movie is just not up to par. See more 07/08/2011 Steal This Movie is an interesting, captivating, and for the most part unknown biopic of Abbie Hoffman. I will watch anything Vincent D'Onorfio is in; no matter if it's a critically acclaimed film like Full Metal Jacket, a television show(Law and Order) or a unknown movie like this or Staten Island. He's a very good and under appreciated actor. Once again he gives an eccentric and flawless performance as a leader of the counter-culture movement of the 1960's. I won't go into the full details of Abbies life, but basically the government started to perceive him as dangerous and forced him to "go underground." He left behind a wife and son who he could only talk to through letters as he was being searched for by the FBI. The last half of Steal This Movie is damn near flawless. The movie features a great soundtrack featuring "Season of the Witch," "The Star Spangled Banner"(Hendrix style) and many protest songs that we've all heard throughout the years. Steal This Movie is definitely a movie that deserves some respect. See more 04/14/2011 Disappointing, at best. Having just finished "Revolution for the Hell of It", I was disheartened to discover that Abbie Hoffman's message just didn't transfer well to film. I have the utmost respect for Hoffman, and it's plausible that no one could have portrayed him well enough to fit my impossible standards. I am a huge fan of Vincent D'Onofrio, and feel like he did a stellar job. The true flaws lie in the overly simplistic writing and plot development. See more 02/17/2011 Worth seeing. [dvd 2011-02] See more 01/21/2011 Good movie based on the life of Abbie Hoffman. Most of it is told in flashbacks. A journalist is writing a piece on Abbie Hoffman, and through interviews with him, his wife, friends and lawyers we see what happened to make Abbie go "underground"...which is where he is at the beginning of the film. This covers the time from his first arrest, to his coming out of the underground. Vincent D'Onofrio does a great job as the man himself, and Janeane Garofalo is wonderful as his wife Anita.
