Kate did a good job. You care about her character. The story is interesting but obscure now. They should have made a movie about Mary Mapes making her award-winning show about Abu Grave. Dan Rather does not deserve the worshipful tone this movie takes on his career. It's hagiography. The music swells to portray 'heroic' journalists but I have always found it strange that many of them think of themselves as guardians of the truth but they are not elected to be our representatives so I'm not sure I am pleased that they think they are speaking for me. Both Bush and Kerry had funny stuff concerned with their Vietnam War era records. Anybody with any sense in those days would have done anything to avoid participating in that horrible waste of a war. Nobody was covered in glory. If Bush got his Dad to help him stay in America, well this is what you do when you have clout.
But it is always a pleasure to watch a Kate movie even when it is a bad movie. She so often seems to play somebody with an American southern accent. I guess it must be the easiest accent for Brits and Ozzies to mimic.
