		Sam lost his job with his brother's tire company because he believes customers are being cheated by not being told the actual amount of profit the business makes on each tire purchased.
		Nixon becomes an allegorical figure representing society as a whole, and the subject of Bicke's pent up rage, his isolation, and his inadequacy.
		Nixon becomes the object of Penn's anger, his vitriol and his unstinting belief that the America he knows is built on the most immoral and unjust of foundations.

	The Assassination of Richard Nixon - Movie Review - The Chief Report
		Sam feels the world is full of liars and racists, and the biggest of them all is none other than the President, Richard Nixon.
		Sam concocts a plan to take out Nixon (in a manner eerily similar to the 9/11 attacks) and make a name for himself in the process.

		Moreover, Sam's boss compares his job to what Nixon exerts (re-elected into 1972 thanks to the same campaign promises of the previous campaign that he did not even keep), in which success (selling his merchandise) necessarily passes through a lie, in one of these many restaurant scenes which are transformed into interrogation or humiliation sessions.
		And yet Sam never manages to convince his public (his associate, brother, boss, wife, himself) : constantly posing, all while trying to maintain a part of his integrity, on his face he keeps the image of a loser.
		Even he doesn't really believe it, notably when he presents himself as a confident businessman in front of a banker whom he asks for a loan, or when he assures his wife that he is in control of his own life.

	Behind the Statesman, A Reel Nixon Endures
		The day the Senate hearings began, on May 17, 1973, Nixon was preoccupied with word that the Watergate committee had been provided with a copy of a domestic spying plan Nixon had approved in 1970.
		What Nixon seems to forget, again and again, in citing the lessons learned from the Hiss case, was that the shoe was now on the other foot.
		But Nixon and his lawyers fought disclosure so long and so hard that what might have been dismissed as old news is still new news in 1997.

		And by last week, 17 of Nixon's associates and employees were under investigation by the Justice Department, the FBI, a federal grand jury and a committee of the U.S. Senate.
		While Nixon is at Camp David drafting a letter refusing to turn over taped phone conversations pertaining to Watergate, Senate Select Committee Chairman Sam Ervin responds: "If the president does not release tapes of Watergate conversations recorded in his offices, I would inform the president that the committee was going to hold him guilty."

	CBC.ca - Arts - Film - The Outsider - Review: The Assassination of Richard Nixon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Nixon is nowhere near as appalling, but Penn’s performance suffers a similar fit of distracting, very loud envelope-pushing as if to say: This is edgy, edgy stuff, man. Edg-ay.
		The Nixon portraits that hang everywhere, barely commented upon, come to seem like mere set dressing, generic signifiers of “badness.” And the Zebras scene is played way too funny, even if it is true (I don’t know whether or not it’s embellishment).
		The Assassination of Richard Nixon is a chic and self-important tribute to grainy American movies of the ’70s, proving that Mueller is an expert stylist, and a well-versed student of the cinema.

		Sam is the typical walking blueprint of a lost man trying to find himself in a complicated world that passes him by willingly.
		Sam is correct—there are corruptive forces out there meant to oppress certain people and that the haves definitely outweigh the have nots in terms of maintaining the status quo.
		The Assassination of Richard Nixon is based on a real 1974 event telling the sordid story of an upset American wanting to shake things up by hijacking a commercial airliner in hopes of smashing the White House into smithereens thus ridding the unsettling country of Nixon and his fellow nemesis.

		A salesman who does not like telling lies, when his boss suggests that Richard M Nixon is the "worlds greatest Salesman" because he won the Presidency twice on the false premises of pulling out of Vietnam, Bicke is quick to begin transferring his personal issues onto the President.
		As a sense of personal failure and loneliness engulfs Sam, his desperation leads him to try to assassinate President Nixon, a symbol of the unscrupulous corporate elite who he blames for all of his failings and the destruction of his life.
		Sean Penn puts in a superb and memorable performance as Sam Bicke, capturing brilliantly the edginess and simmering desperation of a decent, honest man stuck in the wrong profession,unable to command the respect of his peers (or indeed himself)and his subsequent descent into homicidal behaviour.

	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004): Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Naomi Watts, Jack Thompson - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sam's plan, undertaken in 1974 (and based on a true story, featuring one Samuel Byck), is at once elaborate and myopic.
		In this way, the president reminds Sam daily of his own failures, especially as a family man (Nixon appears on tv, waving at crowds with his wife, proclaiming that he's not a crook, dancing at his daughter Tricia's wedding) and as a salesman.
		Even as Sam is unable to grasp basic elements of salesmanship at the office furniture store where he works, Nixon appears on multiple screens, a wholly effective salesman who has, as Sam's employer notes, sold precisely the same story to voters two years in a row, that he would end the war in Vietnam.

		I miss the fact that Nixon was something of an evil genius and Spiro Agnew a sort of idiot savant, and that, in tandem, they made for excellent public spectacles.
		I miss the fact that, even in his darkest hours, Nixon conducted regular, unscripted press conferences, his upper lip and enormous forehead beading with sweat as he fielded one tough question after another from unsycophantic (even openly hostile) journalists.
		I miss how, even after he left office in disgrace, Nixon had the wherewithal and intellect to reinvent himself yet again-a hallmark of his entire political career-and how he would make sincere but ultimately wrongheaded gestures toward reconnecting with the cheering public he so achingly missed.

	Death of a Salesman
		Sam's plan, undertaken in 1974, is at once elaborate and myopic: He means to hijack a plane from BWI Airport in Baltimore and crash it into the White House (a plan he shares with the real Sam Byck, on whom Assassination's protagonist is loosely based).
		Sam's boss, Jack (Jack Thompson), initially tells him he "smells" like success, hands him how-to books by Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale ("You gotta believe," he oozes), but Sam can't abide the lies he sees as the basis of "success." Peering into his own future, he sees only perpetual disappointment and loss.
		This proximity not only reveals Sam's turmoil (and no one shows psychic gears grinding as effectively as Penn) but also asks viewers to reconsider their own part in such loss, the ways that those overlooked might be noticed rather than rejected.
