- S: Other than a very odd interaction with police, the decision making in the film is well detailed and sensible.
- C: Great props and display of the technology of the time. Some poor lighting choices, almost every room is far too dark in general. There's great interplay of real and production footage throughout.
- E: Very fun watch. Great pacing of a very tense story make for a nail-bite. Definitely has the Spotlight/All the President's Men feel.
- N: Great untold story from an interesting perspective. Has great emotional and ethical stakes which make a film which mostly takes place in one room extremely interesting.
However, the film has some characters that are a bit lacking/simple; a voice of reason manager who's presence is strangely intermittent and the police force who is overly docile.
- T: The film earned one bonus point for the regular intertwining of real news coverage with the production.
Great watch, but like lots of films about news stations, it falls into standard stereotypes for the genre.
Doesn't have anything particularly excellent, but it does simply communicate a solid story.
