State of Play

Stop the presses for the latest scoop from Capitol Hill linking a congressional scandal, corporate conspiracy theory, and a string of suspicious deaths. Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams, and Helen Mirren are worth the price of admission alone in this behind the scenes glimpse of the newspaper world. A veteran journalist butts heads with a cub reporter while trying to get the big juicy story for their tough editor. Terrific acting, smart dialogue, great backdrops, and attention to details and nuances elevate this gripping thriller to must see status. Even an idiot pulling the fire alarm and cancelling the screening 30 minutes before the conclusion couldn’t keep this reporter from witnessing the suspenseful end of this who-is-using-who mystery.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "blood suckers and bloggers" stars out of 4.
