It has been awhile since I watched a film and became fully sympathetic and supportive of the views and message that it conveys. The movie is actually well-written, concise and to-the-point (all of which conveys good journalism) which assists in generating the aura of the film. During these times, we have lost touch of the positive and productive role of television or media in general, that is enlightenment, education and culturing and not just pleasure and entertainment. This film is not just about journalism, the freedom to speak and convey ideas or documenting the medial foundation for the constitutional rights of the American citizen, its much deeper than that. I believe that it tells us subliminally, that the current ignorance, fear and unreadiness towards terrorism is due to the inability of journalism to enlighten and broaden the horizons of the viewers to current issues, policies -whether they be homeland or external, and actions the American government carries out which may or may not be in the interest of its people. The closing speech at the end of the film suggests this. It is the responsibility of the media to pass on this information in a consistent and productive manner so as to ready the viewers for the possibilities and outcomes. Good Night, and Good Luck. :)

No matter how many times I see this movie, I just can't get enough of it. If your into those films about a person who gets some powers which may appear to be a blessing but is actually a curse - giving a cool film a dramatic twist, then this film is a must. I've read the book, and it is better than the movie - but what isn't? I have purposely not mentioned any scenes or even the storyline because I wouldn't want anyone to even miss a small amount of the pleasure from watching the film. So all I will say is that this movie is a blockbuster, and a person who hasn't seen it has missed a lot. Great movie and story Stephen King is a master in story telling and this is one of his greatest books about power, irony, and faith.

This short film occurs in January 13, 2001, where a Times war photographer -Harvey Jacobs (Stellan Skarsgård)- is wounded while witnessing a massacre at Nuevo Colon by terrorists. In a desperate effort, the United Nations sends a vehicle to get him out, a BMW driven by Clive Owen.

This film, in comparison to any other film of the Hire series is possibly the best. The mark of Alejandro González Iñárritu is without contest the deepest one I've seen to date. It can't be denied that every second of the films matters in one way or another, either it is the feel of the environment, characters or even the state of mind. But since I'm a fan of his work I think I might be a little biased.

The real hero of the film is actually the photographer's mother (Lois Smith) who really made a spectacular performance. I've seen the film about five times and I am still touched by her performance. Great Film 9/10
