Bombshell * *

       I'd heard about this film but I had no idea who these people are.  I later figured they are big time TV presenters in the USA.  I don't watch TV News in Australia, never mind TV News from America, so to me they were all anonymous characters, which is a good thing as it strips away everything except the story, which is about three women dealing with the head of a TV News network and his lascivious ways.
Going down....
         The women who worked with him were frequently subjected to inappropriate sexual harassment.
       But it's a dull story, with thoroughly unattractive characters on both sides, rather badly told with glib smug dialogue and fast editing and a bit of an opportunity to be lascivious ourselves.  It stars some big names who should all know better when selecting a script.
        If you want to see a worthy and more intelligent film on sexual harassment in the work place go check out the far superior and tragically overlooked Working Woman.
