'State of Play', starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck turned out to be a pretty good political thriller. I hadn't heard a lot about it, so I wasn't very excited.
It's one of those stories about the newspaper guy whose best friend is a Congressman, and there's a story to blow! There are lots of twists and turns, and a rapidly evolving plot. I like that when it's well done, and here, it is. It's not the greatest story I've ever heard, but at least everything made sense!
'State of Play' also stars Robin Wright Penn, Rachel McAdams and Jason Bateman. They all do a really good job, but I must say that Jason Bateman plays a great sleaze bag! I would hate for him to get type-cast here, but I think he may become the rich guy with too much hair gel in a lot more movies.
This one is totally OK for the kids. There is discussion of marital infidelity, but that's about it. I doubt, however, that most kids would hang on to this story.
'State of Play' was a good watch!
