The way a true story _should_ be filmed...

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2000)

Even though I suspect there has been more than a little dramatization involved, this film seems like the perfect example of a true story being filmed.
There's enough thrill to keep the audience riveted to their seats, while the movie still manages to get the message about the public health debacle across. As an encore, there is the 'responsibility of the press' and the freedom of speech and print issue.
Brilliant role by Pacino as the slightly ideological producer of "60 minutes", defending the integrity of himself, and more importantly, of the newscasting-community as a whole.
