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).

Ok movie. Nice plot twist. Impressed by Russell Crowe's performance. Ben Afflick, guess I just can't take his acting seriously? He looked good, but did not feel he could carry the role of a congressman very well. Some may really enjoy this movie it was just not my kind of flick.

It was interesting watching the reporters try to find facts in order to report the true story. Lots of twists in places and I didn't expect the way it ended. Overall a good movie.

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.
