Great movie

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2006)

This film covers a period in American history when Communism was on everyone's minds, and therefore the movie leans heavily on the subject. Edward R. Murrow is played by an excellent actor, one of the strongest performances of the year. George Clooney, Jeff Daniels, and Robert Downey Jr. also star and do very well. If there is one film that deserves to do well this year it is this movie. I like how it is filmed in black and white, which is more admirable over color since it is more common nowadays. George Clooney's best work as a director, and his best acting performance is from Syriana, however, this year. Excellent film, not great, but a must see. 10/10.
