That's actualy a pretty fun film, I though. Not very good, obviously, but still pretty good for a laugh/some mindless action.

Hehe, I heard House of the Dead was horrible, but I want to see it for that single fact. Then, perhaps in the future, I'll have something to compare other terrible movies to.

its definately worth seeing just to witness such a pure exercise in incompetence ....

i just wish i hadnt seen it at a theatre - let alone dragged friends to it.

Id rather watch it with some friends...it's great to watch a bad movie with some buddies so you can rip them apart:p

A word of warning: Though this is by all means and awful film, dont go in expecting the biggest pile of shit you've ever seen. It's bad in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way, in my opinion. Lots of people would argue the contray though...

Good Night, and Good Luck


When I watch a film, I often watch it more than just to be entertained. I like to learn from film as well, and this fulfills both needs very well. Perhaps it loses some of it's entertainment factor by staying so close to the source material, however that doesnt detract too much. For one such as myself with very little prior knowledge of the subject matter, the film is rather confusing at first. After the first half hour or so though, the plot sucks you in and you wont want to blink. Strathairn skillfully heads up a wholly incredible cast, backed up by such strong supporting actors as Ray Wise, Frank Langella, and even director George Clooney himself. Though Clooney is great on both sides of the camera, in this film he really shines behind it. The beautiful cinamatography blew me away, though I am a sucker for back and white. Overall, this film does drag in parts but is completly worth it. Should have one at least one or two Oscars.

7.5/10
