Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Law-abiding Americans who hand off a solid chunk of their salaries to the IRS might be interested in what filmmaker Aaron Russo has to say on the subject of income tax. Read full review

Marc Mohan

Mostly it's about taxes -- namely, the argument that the Federal Income Tax, enacted in 1913, is unconstitutional and has been ruled as such by the Supreme Court, and that no law exists today requiring Americans to pay it. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Provocative but also infuriating, this alarmist documentary argues that the levying of a federal income tax in 1913 was unconstitutional and set America on the road to fascism. Read full review

Mark Olsen

The film raises more questions than it could possibly hope to answer fully, devolving from an intriguing look at an enticingly obscure issue into a more broadly based mess. Read full review

Luke Y. Thompson

From the tax debate, the documentary suddenly gets scattershot, going after the Patriot Act, laws against vitamin sales, election fraud, and Hurricane Katrina response (apparently a plot to grab people's guns), building to the standard New World Order line, which discredits any valid points Russo may have.

Marjorie Baumgarten

It’s good to see that passionate cinematic rabble-rousing does not rest solely in the hands of the left. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Gives the Michael Moore muckraking-underdog treatment to the kind of delirious conspiracy theories generally associated with mentally ill homeless people screaming at passersby to stop stealing their brainwaves. Read full review

This stuff has been going on a long time. But don't take Russo's word for it: study for yourself... or, go back to sleep. It's your choice.

Aaron Russo, a famous director responsible for some Eddie Murphy films made this film to "blow the whistle" on corruption in America he was exposed to while growing up and the plans of the Global "Banksters" plans to destroy America and form a one-world government. You want to catch aAaron Russo, a famous director responsible for some Eddie Murphy films made this film to "blow the whistle" on corruption in America he was exposed to while growing up and the plans of the Global "Banksters" plans to destroy America and form a one-world government. You want to catch a glimpse of "the man behind the curtain pulling the strings" this movie is for you. Note: You should also watch the Interview with Aaron Russo with Alex Jones about this movie (thankfully, the annoyingly angry Alex Jones is off camera in this interview and just mostly listens to Russo talk about the corruption he experienced growing up in America and how his former friend "Nick Rockefeller told them they were planning "an event" which would start a fake war with no real enemy in the months prior to the 9/11 attacks. In fact even if you don't watch Freedom to Fascism, at least watch that Interview if you care about the future of America or the free world, just Google it online and you will find it.… Expand

How do I make a choice if I don't have the information necessary to do so. Sometimes the truth is painful yet it is the truth, and I want to know it. Thank you Aaron for providing information I can research and decide for myself.

This is a great movie. The info is dangerous and if it wasn't so dang true, I would say that it should be more entertaining. Honestly, the info is the lure not the production. MUST SEE!

Every American should see this film and if they think that it is okay that the IRS / World Bank should be doing any of this stuff after they have watched the entire movie, they need to go right away to get a micro chip in their body so that the IRS can stalk them all of their life and make sure that they don't hurt themselves because obviously, that person has no brains.

Even though the biased critics think this movie is "messy", they don't keep in mind that this is a very low budget film that Aaron put together himself. This movie will open your eyes to the corruption in our government. Don't let the media and critics stop you from watching it, Even though the biased critics think this movie is "messy", they don't keep in mind that this is a very low budget film that Aaron put together himself.

Open your eyes and ask questions!! And for those of you who think this isn't true...why are the people being sued over income tax judgments WINNING? Get a clue!! There ISN'T a law that makes you pay income tax...it's VOLUNTARY...it says so in their code!… Expand
