STATE OF PLAY (2009) - April 15, 2009
A well made political thriller about a reporter who finds himself embroiled in a story involving a cheating congressman, murder, and a shady corporation. The film was well directed (I particularly enjoyed the riveting sequence in which Russell Crowe evades an assassin in a parking garage) -- it did drag a bit in the middle, but I was never bored. It did seem a bit more simplistic than other films of its ilk -- generally these types of films tend to have so many characters and plot twists that they get a bit hard to follow, which was never the case here. Though I suppose "it wasn't confusing enough" would be a pretty bizarre complaint. ***
