Well played Clooney! A man with a sense of purpose.

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2005)

George Clooney lets history speak for itself in this compelling, no frills drama about the noble Edward R. Murrow. I found this film captivating, visually stunning, and educational without being "preachy." Solid performances by all. The editing is skillfully done so as to keep the pace going while not losing any key elements of the story. I know this is one of those films that will remain "important" for a very long time. (Check out how smoke is used throughout the film in almost every shot to build both nostalgia and tension.)
I can't wait to see what Clooney lends his multi-talents to next. Highly recommended!
