State of Play
Grade: B (Watch it)
Review: Very nice, low budget, no special effect thriller. Good cast (minus Ben Affleck), good acting, good story. Connect the dots with a twist full of suspense story line, is good old fashion film making. Russell Crowe is great in portraying an investigative journalist. Since now days investigative journalism is so rare let me define it: Investigative journalism is a type of reporting in which reporters deeply investigate a topic of interest, often involving crime, political corruption, or some other scandal (the good stuff that CNN and FOX do NOT have). Story is very contemporary with congressman affair, defense contractors, congressional hearing, privatization of war etc.
