Ok, Good Night, And Good Luck is basically an ode to make you fall asleep! Well, it practically did. If it was not some pretty good acting, the story would have been very dry, not just dry. I didn't find much... Full review

In a country where people originally came to escape persecution, the creation of a movie that shows how some still want to persecute those who have different beliefs, is an important creation. The movie set forth to create a docu-drama, and... Full review

This movie was rather boring. The story was rather straight forward with a simple story of the progression of Murrow's battle with McCarthy. It was made overly complicated by THe dialogue, it did not need to be that wordy to get... Full review

Like I really want to sit for two hours and see the history of some heavy smokers. This is a long black and white movie narrated by heavy smokers with smoker's voice. Give me a break. Blah. Horrible! Terrible. Don't know... Full review

George Clooney's black-and-white historical bio-drama about Edward R. Murrow's fight with Sen. Joseph McCarthy in 1953-54 is easily the most tragically under-viewed movie of 2005..... ... Full Review

There are some really good actors at work here. Much of the dialogue, though sincere, is somber. Clooney seamlessly incorporates actual file footage of the raging politician into the film. ... Full Review

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie V
As someone remarks during the "Good Night and Good Luck Companion Piece" featurette, there's no video record of what went on behind the scenes of Murrow's newscasts, so it's nice to have a movie that acts as a document of those events. We get comments from Clooney, Heslov, David Strathairn, who is fabulous in the role of Murrow, and others involved with the film. ... Full Review

Good Night is a great movie that covers a period....Excellent performances abound and lovers of history might enjoy this film.....However, putting that aside George has fashioned a very good movie.....Ray Wise is excellent (in my humble opinion) in his supporting role.....Through solid performances from its cast, the film details the televised battle between newsman Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn) and Senator Joseph McCarthy.... ... Full Review
