Review of Live from Baghdad (2002) by Alexis M — 02 Mar 2008
The only News organization reporting live during the bombing of Baghdad was CNN, and this is the true story of the events leading up to it. Based on the book by CNN Producer Robert Wiener, who's attempt to get the story out of Baghdad and into people's home's makes for great entertainment.
The cast is excellent, including Michael Keaton as Wiener, who starts off very gung-ho about what he wants to get out of this assignment, but by the time it's all over, his rose colored glasses look at things has long since faded away.
My biggest issue with the film is the Rock and Roll attitude of the score by Steve Jablonsky, with a little help from music producer Hans Zimmer. Director Mick Jackson won a Director's Guild Award for his work on this film, and it was very muched deserved.
