I did not find anything intellectual in GN&Gl. The guy who played Murrow certainly maintained a serious composure, but I liked his performance better in the "River Wild". Is the ability to maintain a serious demeanor worthy of an Oscar? Clooney's own performance in this movie could have been duplicated by anyone. As for anything riveting, I honestly started to doze off at one point, although it was a long day. Lastly, I could have done without the filterless cigarettes being smoked to the quick in every scene...is this supposed to duplicate a real feeling for the times?AS I said before, my criteria is to say to friends....." that was a damn good movie". Not this time....probably won't watch again if it pops up on my premium channels.
Oh well......I think I've just committed hari-kari here.
