The hypocrisy and self-absorption of the media is not news now, and it wasn't news in 1997. That left this film without much to say. Often that isn't necessary, but people expect more from Costa-Gavras. The film was done pretty well, but it just didn't engage me. Travolta seems to do well as a not-so-bright character. The rest of the cast performed well. The stand-out was Mia Kirshner, who I am not familiar with. But this film doesn't get a recommendation from me. Skip it. Grade: C- (Would have been D, but I give some credit to the cast for performing better than the material they were given)
