Interesting Clooney's first movie

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2007)

A very good movie. A very interesting theme story about how TV was still under the submission of the government in the 50's decade, the plot is subtly engaging and the message is timeless. This first directing experience by George Clooney was simply magnificent and spectacular, the black and white atmosphere gives the film a very good appearance of that year, the rhythm maybe a little slow but it never turns boring or tiresome. The real TV images of that time used in the movie makes it to be more realistic. The cast is just perfect, David Straithaim as Edward R. Murrow was simply flawless, Jeff Daniels as Sgt Mickelson was also very good, Robert Downey great as always and George Clooney proving that he can do serious roles in his career
