i recently rent this movie and be pleasantly surprise . good plot and great acting . morgan freeman show how versatile he have always be a an actor . it be no wonder his career have last so long . christipher reef should be remember for this movie along with the hyped superman exploit . for me it be the first time i have view him a a serious actor . the soundtrack feature mile davis be treat to the listener of such thing . the action and resulting end be a applicable today a they be when the movie be release . the protected right of journalist be always under fire by the government and have be exploit in other movie a well . but not as realistically a in this movie . thumb up .
