Lots of great actors, lots of twists all the way to the end of the movie, worth watching

First, this BestBuy at Firewheel is great. I purchased 2 and I will tell you it's so much better than I could have imagined. Got one, or two!

Very good political story. Russell Crowe as a journalist has a strong presence and puts it best! A must watch for Russell fans.

Russell crowe stars in this political thriller that will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat.

This film is all so good. If you have one last wish, it should be this film.

I love movies with a twist, and this had an ending I didn't see coming.

Good story, Great acting, and interesting plot. Loved the twist and turns of the plot.

Good cloak and dagger movie, Russell Crowe plays a good role.

Very good movie. enjoyed it. presently on loan to a friend.

Bought it because I love the actors in it and it is

It's an average movie. Crowe and Affleck do not portray their characters very well. Helen Mirren and Rachel McAdams do a stellar job. I would recommend it as a good rental.

This is the first 2009 film release I have wanted to buy. Bought it because I have been a fan of Russel'’s. He did a great job with the character. Personal note, character first name is my father name is my fathers name. Wore blue shirts so same favorite color as my father. Interesting story to follow. Just when you think you have the what is going on figured out it surprises you. Helen did a good job even though her character basically just did 1 thing, get mad, say the new owners ONLY were interested in making money . Now, you could see on the screen both Russell & Helen were perfect for their role, A list past Oscar winning actors. Now, as we go. Affleck. Oscar winner but not for acting. He was ONLY passable IN THE ROLE OF THE Congressman. This role should have been given to another A list actor. Robin, who starred in 1 of Russell's favorite films The Princess Bride you barely saw her & she could have phoned the role in, she slept walked through it. It was disappointing this film did not do well at the box office. It should have. As for the DVD. Nothing special about it. The HBO Making Of special & only 2 deleted scenes. Yes, I know the film did not do well at the box office but it deserved a better DVD package.

I was aware of this movie when it came out but never got to see it, and was surprised to realize that was seven years ago! I noticed it on sale at Best Buy and there is a pretty decent set of bonus features, so I picked it up. The movie starts off shaky (literally, with a steady cam foot chase) and the cliched characters are introduced in pretty quick succession, but then the movie settles in, Russel Crowe is in pretty top form in a low key role, and the script for the most part (with contributions from Tony Gilroy and Billy Ray) is smart and nimble as one might expect. The ending is more than a little bit of a let down by basically saying never mind everything you learned up to here; it was all really beside the point. Too bad for that, but overall enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the PIP commentary from filmmakers on the next watch.

I have not this movie yet, but anything Russel Crowe makes is sure will be entertaining. He is my Favorite actor of our time.

It is a great movie, easy to watch. Recommend to others.

Good movie entertaining held our attention would recommend to others.
