About This Movie

Issue (2005) weaves a tense narrative around Linda, an aspiring TV reporter. The atmosphere is thick with unease as she unwittingly becomes embroiled in a dark web of exploitation when a dying woman slips a mini disc into her bag. The pacing is gripping, forcing viewers to navigate Linda's moral quandary as the shocking footage of the woman's death begins to air. What’s particularly striking is how the film delves into themes of media sensationalism and personal responsibility. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, serve the story well, adding to the gritty realism. Performances are raw and unpolished, lending authenticity to the characters’ desperate situations. The film's distinct choice to focus on a journalistic angle, especially in the context of the early 2000s, makes it an interesting watch for genre enthusiasts.
