Save UR money, watch the Biography channel

Rating: 4/10 (6 October 2005)

Movie narrative of the facts one usually sees done better by the Biography Channel on cable TV using interviews with the REAL people who were part of the original events.
In fact, I just finished watching a Biography "extra" of ER Murrow intercut with interviews of Clooney and the cast...a great 1hr piece.
The acting is fine and David Strathairn makes Murrow come alive. Not much of a stretch for the other actors to act concerned and focused on the script/story.
Don't bother to see this movie unless you really need to spend the price of movie admission to get the same bio you would get for from TV.
However, if you've got kids it might be a good history lesson to take them out for a movie, dinner and discussion over Murrow's courage.
