Medium Cool is a pointless wannabe political picture.
The combination of fact and fiction doesn't work here. Not having a plot isn't beneficial, either. Seeing black
people irrationally force their control over their white counterparts at the apartment has left me feeling
nauseous.
Robert Forster has done a good job of making the film watchable. However, his character needs to be more
developed. Either way, it's the lack of plot that ruins everything.
All in all, all the political issues covered in Medium Cool were done better in
Network, a far superior film.
