Entertainment Reviews:
As any revolutionary knows, there's a big leap between theory and practice, and that leap proves too much for tyro helmer Stephen Marshall's This Revolution.
Variety
It's the kind of engaged, political filmmaking that is rarely seen today, and it's a welcome and powerful addition to the canon.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Stephen Marshall's admirable but unfocused new film is set in New York City during the 2004 Republican National Convention.

New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
The fusion of fiction and independent journalism adds to the complexity of a story that exposes the 'news' as a narrative cowritten by the government and the TV networks.

Marshall's ambitions are admirable, but he falls short when it comes to wrapping the message in credible, compelling drama.

TV Guide
Director Stephen Marshall is more activist than film theorist, prone to editorializing ('I'm certainly not going to sacrifice profits,' one journalist character sneers) without the equivalent of Wexler's formal rigor.
Village Voice
Product Description:
Rosario Dawson (SIN CITY) stars in this political thriller about ethics and the media. Nathan Crooker is Jake Cassavetes, a network cameraman with experience in war photography. His network asks him to cover another front: the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. There he meets Tina Santiago (Dawson), a single mother who challenges his convictions and his heart. Using real footage shot during the convention, THIS REVOLUTION gives a human face to radical political groups and the government's reaction to them.
