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. I'll like to see his character
be more developed. Ultimately, it's the lack of a plot that ruins everything.
All in all, all the political issues covered in Medium Cool were done better in
Network, a far superior film.
