I’m glad I could watch how CNN became famous in the Middle East. This movie again made me realize that the advantage of television movies is that when they have a good director and good actors, they are bound to be properly made. On the other hand, this film is so proper and honest that it lacks more suspense. This movie could have been really suspenseful, but they didn’t quite manage it. In some places, the film can be totally boring, and that is why I think only the true enthusiasts of that particular period can enjoy it. However, it’s properly made and hats off for that objective view on the creation of articles from Iraq, which we and the whole world read, and we don’t realize how much effort it costs someone on the other side of the globe.

This movie isn't playing games, it provides honest information about the war and that's where its strength lies. The story has a great pace and the cast, led by Michael Keaton and Helena Bonham Carter, excels in every shot.
