Full Plot Details

A gang of crooks robbing cash collectors, run into a police surveillance team and the inadequate police response results in a gunfight. A TV crew on assignment in the area happens to capture this humiliation on camera, and this example of police incompetence is soon the lead story in every news bulletin. Public confidence in law and order now suffers irreparable harm. The head of the Moscow force welcomes a public search-and-destroy operation against these thugs, the brainchild of Katya, his PR director. She proposes that the capture of this dangerous gang be transformed into a live TV show of a kind never seen before. At this point she cannot know that the gang leader's life-and-death struggle with the police is destined to lead to a media duel. Besieged in a huge apartment block, the crooks hold hostage a father and his son and daughter. A massive special forces rescue operation is mounted but fails miserably. Undaunted by this setback, Katya and her team of specialists manipulate the footage to create the illusion of victory. Incensed by this version of events broadcast on TV, gang leader Herman strikes back. Using the boy's computer he uploads to the Internet his own footage of this debacle and starts broadcasting from the apartment via a web camera. The first shots have now been fired in an information war, whose survivors and victors have yet to emerge.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 6/10 by JY SAnders Banke's Newsmakers gives Russia a suitable enough entry into the crime drama genre.Closely based off of the Johnnie To film, Breaking News, the story contains a little twist to the cops and robbers concept by heavily involving the media as a third player. This brings something different to the table, although the overall tone of the movie is disrupted by the way it is handled. There is a little too much emphasis on the use of "creating a show."The action sequences are a positive. The shootouts are well-crafted, lengthy, and spread out throughout the entire picture. The sound effects for the guns also provide that extra kick to the battles.The acting is acceptable all around, but a number of characters lack sufficient development to really mean anything. Mariya Mashkova probably gets the most build up, but she isn't entirely likable. Andrey Merzlikin and Yevgeni Tsyganov end up with the other notable characters of the film.Newsmakers has the action and an interesting concept with the story. It doesn't come across as an extraordinary piece of work, but it is a watchable film out of Russia.

User Review - 6/10 by Max SThis is basically a frame by frame remake of Johnnie To's remake of Breaking News but doesn't quite manage to create the same sense of tension as its Hong Kong counterpart
User Review - 4/10 by Ana A10 minutes infront not so bad, but it getting worst at the end..
