Loved It!

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2000)

I loved this film, and am surprised that it didn't do too well! It's so much better than a number of recent thrillers, and because it is a true story done well, it feels very real.
I'd compare it in some aspects to All the President's Men, which is one of my favorite films. It's about journalists trying to uncover the truth about something very big, it's based on a true story, the acting and directing are very good, and it's real and indepth.
It's a bit like a John Grisham novel - long and deep, yet you are gripped until the end. In fact, John Grisham covered this very same topic in The Runaway Jury.
If you don't like to think when you're watching a movie, don't rent this. But if you enjoy using your mind and spending a whole lot of time thinking about a film afterwards, this is definitely for you. As a thinker, I'd give this one 10 out of 10.
