Acerca de esta película

Academy Award-winning writer/director Oliver Stone brings shock radio to the screen in this relentlessly fast-paced suspense thriller. Dallas talk radio host Barry Champlain (Eric Bogosian) discovers one weekend that his skills in pushing people's buttons have won him a chance for national syndication. But instead of celebrating, he subjects his ex-wife (Ellen Greene) and co-workers to a darkly comic marathon bout of compulsive risk-taking with his unstable radio audience. Barry and his 'fans' the lonely, the angry and the dangerous know that talk is not cheap and words can kill.

Calificaciones y opiniones

Excellent movie, I'm not sure how to classify it but it's fairly dark. It's a bit more than just a drama. It definitely offers a healthy dose of the dark side of sociopolitical commentary. It's an extremely intelligent and well written little independent film. It's definitely well worth checking out. It's a "thinking man's/woman's" kind of movie. If you're looking for mindless action or romantic boredom then it's not for you.

Underrated movie. Worth the watch. In my opinion, it can compel the viewer to reflect upon themselves and society.

A great movie,based on a true story
