Didn't cut it for me

Rating: 2/10 (6 August 2014)

Terrible. I hated that it was in black and white, I hardly got a feel for the characters, and it simply seemed to portray the historical context in a way that I did not glean anything from it. For a similarly-themed movie, that of a T.V. personality going up against a political figure, check out "Frost/Nixon." While I wouldn't give that film a 10/10, it is definitely worth a viewing over this one, which I would take a pass on. (And now I am just filling up space for the minimum 10 length of text review: at least there was a familiar face or two in the film, based on the actors listed on the DVD case; I didn't even finish this movie it was that uninteresting to me; and David Strathairn looks a little like Robert Deniro on the cover.)
