I think the movie had more impact when it was released than now. In my opinion the movie/story started very well and ended very bad; a good and realistic criticism of how the television "network" works, but when the story turns into a "dark comedy" satiric it loses all the power it could have and end up as headache of "Gremlins" stressful images/dialogs. There is a point in the movie where the entire story comes predictable and the main plot gets lost in the way-too-much satiric situations. The best thing about the movie is Faye Dunaway, she is a great actress and it's a pleasure watching her the entire movie. In my opinion a good movie has to be universal, that anybody from any culture/historic time can understand it, to me, this movie just tried to impact its own specific historic moment. I also felt the story was stretched more than it needed, they could have cut at least 30 minutes of the movie and made it more smooth and powerful. So far this is the only movie I consider it doesn't have to be in the IMDb top 250 list.
