Cons: Very little action, movie moves almost entirely on by news clips/renditions of the shows.
Pros: This movie, however, works beautiful as an allegory for our current time. McCarthy sounds so much like Bush that it's almost insane. Also, the cinematography in this movie is brilliant. So many shots just take your breath away. The acting is also amazing. How they take a scene where no one says or does ANYTHING (all the news guys sitting around, waiting for the first edition of the paper in the bar) and make it so tension filled just with their expressions. Wow.
Basically, if you're wanting action or a lot to happen, this is not the movie for you. If you care about politics, or just want to see a brilliantly shot, very well-acted movie, go and see it.
Good night, and good luck.
