Mad City

Consumer Rating: Mad City Reviews and Ratings - Rating 3.5/5   See 8 reviews  | Write a review
Information: Product details
Price Range: $1.95 - $30.00 at 5 stores
When a recently fired museum guard files a grievance with his boss by menacing her with a shotgun and ends up with a gaggle of schoolkid hostages, it seems like the perfect opportunity for a has-been news anchor to revive his flagging career. Indeed, the ratings soar, with the newsman inflating the standoff and priming his slow-witted star for the limelight.

Theater of the Absurd: Mad City

by  George_Chabot ,  Jan 3, 2008
58 out of 58 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Hoffman, Mia Kirschner, John Travolta
Cons: Story is old news
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.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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.

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!

by  Guildencrantz ,  Jan 29, 2000
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Great acting, good statement
Cons: Predictable, didn't draw me into the story
This reviewer recommends this product.
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...
