It is true that we want bad news more than we want good news. We say we don't. But, we do!

ROGER EBERT SAYS:
It's time to admit the obvious -The public enjoys sensational journalism, and the media are only giving them what they demand. The recent "Ruby Ridge'' standoff in Downstate Illinois was thoroughly relished by the public, even while it was blaming "the media'' for prolonging it. People who say they deplore paparazzi journalism are approximately as sincere as smokers who lecture you on how bad their habit is.

Sam: John Travolta, Brackett: Dustin Hoffman, Laurie: Mia Kirshner, Hollander: Alan Alda, Lou Potts: Robert Prosky, Mrs. Banks: Blythe Danner, Dohlen: William Atherton. Directed by Costa Gavras.
Written by Tom Matthews.
Running time: 120 minutes.
Rated PG-13 (for depiction of a hostage situation, including violence and brief language).

One man will make a mistake.
The other will make it a spectacle.
