Hannibal Lecter becomes a reporter, consumes people with a camera

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2014)

8.9 of 10. What you might imagine could be the beginning of Rupert Murdoch's story, or that of one of his henchmen at FOX News, such as Roger Ailes.
There have been several films trying to capture the conflicts of interest and insanities that perpetuate TV news, but this is the first I'm aware of to get far beyond the anchor desk, up and down and around the corporate media career ladder.
While Jake Gyllenhaal provides a sound performance, unlike this year's Mr. Turner that Timothy Spall transforms beyond the lines, the script and story is what really makes this film work. Jake almost detracts from it by being/looking nearly as old as Russo who is "twice his age". Otherwise, casting and performances all fit together, especially in the smaller roles.
