Witness in the War Zone, 31 August 2008
5/10

Well, Deadline is a type of film like "conspiracy films". Film stars Academy Award-winner Christopher Walken, which is one of the my favorite actors. He portrays an American journalist named Don Stevens. Then, he goes to Beirut (Lebanon) during the war. He must staying in a hotel with English journalist but Stevens found himself in a conspiracy events. He would be a hero or just a dead journalist. Film goes well, but not so good and many scenes are so boring. Chris Walken was amazing at his role as always. Supporting cast were OK too, Walken tries to save the film but he can't do many much. Some scene shots are very low but atmosphere was great for "looking to war". Film shoot in Israil. It is not a documentary or something like it. It is a fictional film but uses a real-life events.I mean War in Beirut, for my idea, Don Stevens and other persons are just fiction. Film can be recommended to the fans of Walken.
