Check it out at the library, but don't pay to see it.

Rating: 3/10 (25 April 2008)

The technical use of black and white was excellent.
Diane Reeves and her combo were superb. The movie needed a lot more of them and a lot less of everything else.
Otherwise, the movie was mediocre. The actors were very busy acting and showing how intense they were and how serious the subject matter was. The plot...was there really a plot? I wonder if the screenplay was cobbled together from a McCarthy hearings website with one eye while the other eye was on a sports event on the tube. Was there anything surprising, was there anything new revealed about the human condition or the time period in question, was there a rooting interest for any of the characters, was there any dramatic tension? Nope.
Way overrated.
