Heavy-handed but pretty classic.

I rewatched it today and have the same opinion I had of it when it came out. An interesting premise, but not handled particularly well.

David Mamet's material is better when he directs it himself, but the story remains a relevant one about spin doctors and the nature of truth in a multi-media world. Slightly unaffecting though.
