Theater of the Absurd: Mad City

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: A derivative film that takes a few choice jabs at the tabloid television media. Good performances by Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta.
Review: Mad City (1997)

I've recently seen two of the handful of movies that make TV news reporters out to look as stupid as they are cocksure, at least that's what the movies seem to express, and I'm not sure that I disagree.

Has Anyone Heard Of This?

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 2000
Review: I don't know what movie everyone else saw, but I thought that
"Mad City" was one of the best movies I've ever seen. What
actually attracted me to this movie was the cast, an amazing
group. There's the amazing Dustin Hoffman, whom I think...

Oh the madness!

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2000
Review: Okay, so the madness is not all that impressive. As a matter of fact the plot was interesting but less than stellar. Intended to take a look at the role of the media in influencing people's choices and the law itself this movie is not all that...

Media Madness City

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 1999
Review: This film makes quite a statement on today's society. It is the story of modern media, getting the story at "all costs," and about the difficulty of getting off the wrong "path."

Lead by two powerhouse actors, Dustin Hoffman and John...

Brilliant movie from a master-director

Date of Review:  Jun 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you've had enough of all the Hollywood stereotypes, then watch Mad City- it will make you think, and you will not easily forget its message...
Review: Constantin Costa-Gavras is the thinking man's film maker, known for hard hitting movies that take on the insulated world of American cultural Fordism- it is movies like 'Z', which exposed the callousness and brutality of the Greek dictatorship of...

What A Movie This Is, Even With Travolta

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: Mad City is not an action flick, it's a drama. Medium paced, great acting (minus Travolta) and has a good bit of suspense. Hey, it kept me entertained.
Review: Box office totals can be deceiving. Not necessarily all films seen by everyone are awesome, and films that no one attends aren't always bad. Although preachy and sometimes frustrating to watch, Mad City managed to keep me intrigued through out the...

Just Plain Mad!

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2000
Review: Dustin Hoffman, John Travolta, Alan Alda, TV News and it's manipulation of public opinion. You would think that, given the premise and the talent involved, this would be a fantastic movie. It's not. Overlong, an unbelievable plot, and mediocre...
