State of Play

[thespirithotel]

A timely (Congressman at the head of an investigation into a Blackwater-like "private security" firm is suddenly caught in an affair; old-school journalist and a blogger at a struggling big newspaper are tasked with the story) thriller that manages to keep one guessing til the end. Having an all-star cast (Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams, Heather Millen, Jeff Daniels, Robin Wright Penn) certainly doesn't hurt.

3.5/4
