The film is an explosive cinematic rollercoaster about a group of visionaries and misfits who had an idea for a new kind of news -- one that would give the people what they want and would change the face of the world we live in today.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Capturing the amoral thrill of "if it bleeds, it leads" with all the stylistic prowess director Danny Boyle can marshal, Ink's is an erratic media indictment that's ably anchored by Jack O'Connell's superb performance.
