🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Edward Zwick constructs a nerve-shredding experience by fully committing to the simulated broadcast format. He works with the inherent trust in television news to create a profound sense of immediacy and dread, exploring media manipulation long before it became a daily concern.
What lingers after the final frame is a deep-seated unease about the power of the image and the fragility of truth in the age of broadcast. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Edward Zwick
