a review of

It's always enjoyable watching people being really good at what they do just doing their jobs, and I really enjoyed the analogallity of everything; seeing them manipulate physical objects to accomplish their tasks was so delightful. (I'm speaking of course about the newspeople, not the terrorists.) I also really enjoyed the feeling of being cramped up in the halls and rooms they were working in and being immersed in all of it; you never actually see much of the outside world as it exists beyond what the newsfolks can see from their work environs. The pace is pretty unrelenting and since it's just about 95 minutes it goes by quickly, but I could've watched them "ready camera 1, take camera 1" for another 95 more. (I pulled a Reverse Jesse and watched this after watching Munich, and in some ways his would be the preferred route to go - September 5 then Munich - so as to watch the events unfold chronologically, but do what you want!)
