Anyway, I fell asleep within the first five minutes. Let's just say the opening is not action-packed. While I'll be the first to admit that this film is a bit slow, especially if you have no interest in these issues, I must say I enjoyed it somewhat. The whole idea that some whistle-blower at a tobacco firm can get lowballed by news organizations, and possibly lose his life trying to save hard working Americans kind of puts media types into perspective. Fortunately, Courtney and I aren't media types.
Media types do research.
That could have something to do with the fact that I was playing this great card game while trying to watch and keep myself awake. The acting was just not riveting at all. Nothing captured my attention, so I stopped watching. I'm not into all these movies about going up against the man, so I watched Troop Beverly Hills instead. Russell Crowe dominates.
