State of Play 7/10
It's a political conspiracy theory with relevant subject matter. It was somewhat predictable in that you knew SOMETHING was going to happen even though you didn't specifically know what it was going to be. I think the whole genre is burdened with that problem though. The movie does pretty much follow the conspiracy formula but I actually liked Russel Crowe in this movie and Ben Affleck was a passable young congressman. I didn't even recognize Robin Wright Penn as Affleck's Wife in the movie it's been so long since I've seen her.
