"State of Play"

A gripping political thriller that I somehow missed when it first came out. In it, Ben Affleck plays a Senator investigating the actions of a Blackwater type company. His aid is killed and Russell Crowe and Rachel McAdams, who work for a Washington newspaper start doing some digging. Things start to get interesting. It's a well written, well acted movie I just couldn't stop watching. Even Ben Affleck, who I don't think much of as an actor, does a credible job here. It'll keep you guessing right until the end. The film also stars Dame Hellen Mirren, Jason Bateman, and Jeff Daniels. 

4 out of 5 stars
