You really nailed what makes this film work and I think that it is a fantastic snapshot of the rise of radio shock jocks back in the 1980s. Now, people can voice their opinions on the Internet back then there were limited avenues to air your grievances and/or rant and rave.<br /><br />I also thought that Alec Baldwin was particularly good as the owner/operator of the radio station that Barry worked at. In the late '80s/early 1990s, Baldwin played a wide variety of roles and this is an excellent example of his versatility back then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-48297221220034391782010-08-08T07:41:19.017-07:002010-08-08T07:41:19.017-07:00Yeah Network is awesome, I love watching movies li...Yeah Network is awesome, I love watching movies like that one, I need to see "All the Presidents Men" which I hear is also a fils that exposes the evils of the world!<br /><br />Im going to be on Oliver Stone mode for the next couple of days, I just acquired an Oliver Stone boxed set and wow, Im having a great time watching his movies! I had missed out on a couple of them, like this one. <br /><br />So expect some Oliver Stone reviews in the next couple of days!Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-52608736532785669242010-08-08T06:49:40.004-07:002010-08-08T06:49:40.004-07:00Great review, Francisco.

There were a hell of a lot of fearless and ballsy movies made in the '70s (more so than in the last couple of decades!) and 'Network' is one of the best of them.Neil Fulwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686296295535235988noreply@blogger.com
