Mad City

One would think with stars like John Travolta and Dustin Hoffman MAD CITY would be a good film. Sadly it isn't and the fault lays on the both of them. An interesting story about a man who loses his job and can't cope with life so he takes a bunch of kids hostage at a museum not knowing he has a television journalist in there as well. The story is an interesting look at how society and media can destory us but it doesn;t work because both Hoffman and Travolta look like the a mailing in their performances. Good for a late night watch if there is nothing else on, otherwise, a waste of time.
