Bombshell (2019)


A group of women take on Fox News head Roger Ailes and the toxic atmosphere he presided over at the network. I think the most surprising thing about this movie is this is by the same director who did the Austin Powers movies and Meet the Fockers, I have to admit I actually thought this movie was pretty solid. In terms of acting this movie does a fantastic job Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, Kate McKinnon and Charlize Theron all do a really great job. The standout being Charlize Theron she looks identical to Megyn Kelly it’s very convincing, the writing was also pretty strong. It did have it’s hiccups here and there that could have been improved but for the most part I thought the writing was solid. I do feel the movie starts out pretty slow, it takes some time to get going which does get a little bothersome, it’s kind of a weird choice but it does pick up as it goes on. Overall Bombshell is a really solid movie, while it might not be one of the best of 2019 it’s still worth a watch!!

7/10 B
