À propos de ce film

Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe leads an all-star cast, including Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams & Helen Mirren in the gripping thriller about deception, manipulation & corruption. When D.C. Reporter Cal McCaffrey (Russell Crowe) is assigned to investigate the murder of an assistant to an up-and-coming politician (Ben Affleck), he uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to bring down the nation's power structures. In a town of spin-doctors and wealthy power brokers, he will discover one truth: when fortunes are at stake, no one's integrity, love or life is safe. From director Kevin Macdonald of The Last King of Scotland, State of Play brings together strong performances, riveting suspense and is "sophisticated, intelligent and powerful" (Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV).

Notes et avis

Action adventure suspense all in my category the movie don't have the three armies one of the three I don't even want to see it listen right here for feels all that 6 stars they never gave you the opportunity to put the only allow you to put 5 stars but this movie I will put 6 this I can't think everybody has their own opinion just like to have their own rectum.

If I'm completely honest, I didn't really get the plot twist at the end. And since I refuse to consider myself stupid, I doubt others will get it either. The rest of the movie was pretty good; but corruption in Congress should be done so much better than this.

If this were the first political thriller of its kind, I'd give it five stars. It's more of a cliche now, though I liked Crowe and Affleck enough to give the movie four stars.
