The film is directed by Kevin Macdonald ( he directed The Last King Of Scotland ) and stars Russel Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren and Robin Penn Wright. Crowe and McAdams are investigative journalists for a large Washington daily newspaper. Affleck ( a close friend of Crowe ) is a congressman investigating possible corruption involving the government and a huge, powerful corporation. An earlier, seemingly unrelated death, and the death of Affleck's mistress
get's Crowe and McAdams involved to the point where Crowe's friendship and his ability to sniff out and expose the truth are put to the test. Helen Mirren ( looking gorgeous for her age ) is the tough editor who has to make a tough decision whether or not to go with Crowe's instincts when everything seems to be unravelling. Robin Penn Wright portrays Affleck's victimized wife.
It's a terrific thriller with top notch acting and direction. Highly recommended as either a rental or a purchase. I went with the latter and don't regert it for a minute :T
