After i read the storyline of this movie on Sony Pix in the Tata Sky 'i' button, i thought it would be interesting to watch it further. And after seeing Richard Gere, i knew this wouldn't be a complete waste. But i was so wrong. It is superb. The box office reports and critics can say anything about this movie, but it is very interesting, eye-opening also.
The plot revolves around an exceptional and successful journalist and the sudden fall of his career. His urge to rise back from obscurity forms the backdrop of the story. Richard Gere plays the role of this journalist working in the most happening news channel and enjoying life's perks to the fullest. He covers the war footage and its aftermath. A photographer and him form the best team in the channel. All of it changes when he goes to cover a war in Bosnia. He is fired and his photographer friend takes over.
After many years of doing small-time jobs, Simon resurfaces and promises a big story to his photographer friend, who is now just as famous as he once was. He claims to have the tip-off on 'The Fox' the most-feared terrorist who wreaks havoc in Bosnia. Simon Hunt (Richard Gere) convinces the hesitant Duck (his photographer friend played by Terence Howard) and Benjamin (news channel's Vice-President's son working as an intern) for the mission and begin their search.
Their adventures and misadventures on the way give the movie its character. And the soul lies in the real reason on why Simon wants to nab The Fox. Thrilling and spine-chilling, this one has the right doses of humour and drama into it. The end is a little dramatic but is entertaining.
i found this movie as an eye-opener because i got to know a few new things about the war-hit areas and the role of government and the politics involved in seizing terrorists.
It is a good watch!
