Not what I expected

Rating: 5/10 (15 April 2006)

I hoped to see an exciting film and not a predictable, rather boring plot. I'm surprised to see all these good ratings... I think the plot is only good for a documentary because good and evil roles are so clearly assigned from the beginning. An exciting film would show some kind of REAL conflict, perhaps even with equal opponents (though not necessarily equally likable). Or no opponents at all... There is no question about how bad McCarthyism was and how important people like Mr. Murrow are. It's probably for its political correct message, which can be applied on the current president by bush-haters, that most reviews of the film are so uncritical. But I don't need a film for that, except perhaps a documentary film. If you want to see a good film about the subject of totalitarianism, wait for "das leben der anderen" to be synchronized :)
