Review

A solid ensemble cast helps bring to life this otherwise ordinary but involving newspaper comedy-drama. In this a-day-in-the-life-of-a-journalist, Keaton stars as the city editor of a New York daily tabloid who is caught in a dilemma when his managing editor (the wonderfully steely Close) wants to publish a story proclaiming two black youths guilty of murder when there's a chance they might be innocent. It becomes a battle of business vs. ethics when the two literally fight it out. Duvall nicely plays the paper's editor, and Quaid has some funny scenes as a paranoid photographer who may not be that paranoid after all.
