...can’t hold a candle to director Dominic Sena’s 2000 remake—skipping the “fine wine” stage, aging has just turned the film to vinegar. The greatest failing of Halicki’s supposed masterpiece is the script. A significant amount of dialogue is given as voice-overs during car-chases or while the main characters are repairing stolen vehicles in the auto shop. Thus, the viewer is so focused on the action on-screen that he/she completely ignores the voice-over comments. And yet, even without abundant voice...

"Once I started to learn about McCarthyism and about what Murrow did, the story struck me as very relevant to what's going on today with this Administration and things like the Patriot Act," says Canadian-born Skoll. Nonetheless, Skoll also passed on making the script, which George Clooney had originally...
...brilliance and innovation of the interpretation by director and set designer Burkle triumphs over the occasionally weak acting. The haunting red umbrellas take Ioensco’s rhinoceroses beyond the absurd and into the surreal; the HRDC production transcends a mere illustration of the script and creates a work of art in its own right...
