Movie Review Mania By Christina

Starring: Matt Dillon, Kate Beckinsale, Angela Bassett, Alan Alda, Vera Farmiga, Noah Wyle and David Schwimmer

This movie is about a  news reporter who is trying to get a story that will win her recognition and the respect she feels she deserves. After writing a story and revealing a secretive CIA operative she is asked to reveal her source and after not complying does jail time.

Kate Beckinsale plays the reporter who will not reveal her source and her performance was stellar, her acting ability is superb in making you believe she truly is the person in the role she is playing. All of the supporting cast were very good even though some of them only had a small part.

The movie is based on actual events that took place and it was hard to believe that this woman would go to such lengths to protect her source and jeopardize her family life because of it. A very interesting, intelligent, thrilling and thought provoking film that keeps you thinking the whole time. The ending is truly unpredictable and surprising.

The DVD is released today and it is one I recommend you watching if you like a thrilling suspensful drama with some top notch actors. My rating is a 8.
