Review

fine film with political intrigue, a twist, the old school vs. new school journalism theme, and some good acting. affleck isn’t bad overall, but has a few stilted moments. crowe is solid as is mcadams. there’s a bit of comic relief along with the mystery that is the film’s primary plot point. solid film, but no “all the president’s men” or “network” or even “broadcast news.” .
