Description:

A rude, contemptuous talk show host becomes overwhelmed by the hatred that surrounds his program just before it goes national.

Reviews:

GenerationofSwine (10/10)

This is typical Oliver Stone...no, wait, I didn't mean that in a bad way. I actually meant that in a very positive way.

Our protagonist is a Glenn Beck type, overly opinionated, thuggish, personality meets the shock jock ratings whore...and, in a way that only Stone can achieve, he is treated pretty fairly.

In fact, just about everyone in the film right down to the Neo Nazis are treated pretty fairly. But this was the man, with traditionally liberal values, that was able to make Nixon look sympathetic and gave W a fair shake.

Obscene Racists are treated like humans. Gotta love Stone. Any other director would have made them a walking stereo-type with no personality.

So what you have here is a wonderfully unique film that, despite it being Stone, really feels honest and unbiased.

It's an INSANELY UNDER-RATED FILM.
