When I saw this film I assumed it was another Hollywood remake of a French language film, in this case the classic Man Bites Dog. The film didn't seem to be able to decide whether it was a comedy... certainly DeNiro seemed to be in his "Analyse This" role with a tip of the hat to Taxi Driver when he reherses his wedding proposal in the mirror. But at other times the film is all too serious and gory.
In the end it makes a comment about reality TV and the whether the press acts as an agent provocateur in crimes.
