| Content | Mostly involving people talking a lot, often in a tense atmosphere which is gradually ramped up as the reporters get closer to the truth. | ||
| A View | We are constantly hit over the head with Russell Crowe’s character traits, grubby, disorganised and uncaring and these and his long hair do not suit him. And I kept worrying that he was going to crash his car because he does not often look out. | ||
