There are many reasons to watch this movie.
One is not to appreciate the acting, or plodding direction, but to see how badly a film can date.
1996 does not seem that long ago to me, but after seeing this, it feels like 1985, because of the costumes and the sets, it dated the moment it was printed.
It's Natural Born Killers light, Baldwin re-enacts Postlethwaites murders on the titular programme, and the more murders there are, the more famous and involved Baldwin becomes.
It's an interesting concept, visual media wanting crime to carry on in order to boost ratings, but it's handled so poorly. Sluzier hit the jackpot with 'The Vanishing' but here he seems like he has given up on the whole movie business.
Postlethwaite is as reliable as ever, and Baldwin proves again, he is the third most popular in the family business.
It's a little overlong, and the ending feels a bit rushed, but there is something unique in the movie and the story trying to get out, which is a shame, because this is a cracking concept.
