A perfect film

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2006)

George Clooney's look at a pivotal time in American history where Joseph McCarthy was accusing people left and right of becoming communist during the climax of the cold war conflict is very well done effort. Clooney uses black and white but his film is never boring. The performances are first rate and the historical accuracy and amount that one can learn from this film is extraordinary. Much like All the President's Men in my opinion, this film teaches a lesson about a dark era in our own history. Clooney and Heslov wrote a great script while Strathairn, Clooney and the rest of the cast acted perfectly. This is an instant favorite of mine, 10/10
