State of Play
This is one of those instances where whoever cut the trailer to this movie deserves to be fired. The trailer makes the film out to be a crazy, whodunit thriller with Russell Crowe running around doing crazy shit. The actual movie is a much more subdued, politicalized thriller that is quite enjoyable. Yes, there are elements about the movie that are laughably bad (the statements about bloggers vs. print journalists) and yes, it goes one twist too far, but not enough that you’re experience will be ruined. FINAL VERDICT: Rent it, watch it once, and forget about it.
