Deadline (2012)
This is a film worth seeing if you're into journalism
23 August 2012 - 3 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
Deadline is actually a very surprising, well-thought out little genre film centered around an unsolved murder mystery in the South and a pair of journalists sent in to uncover what really happened. Eric Roberts does a fine job as the older mentor, while Steve Talley is the younger, eager reporter trying to track down the story. For the budget, the film looks impressive and is well edited. Some of the scenes were actually shot on location in a Nashville newspaper newsroom, which adds some authenticity to it. From what I understand, the storyline is based on actual events from 20 years ago, which is an interesting side note. Overall, pretty good job and worth watching if you like 'reporter' movies.
