State of Play

I saw this movie last night with my friend Gloria.

It opens with a guy running and hiding but still being shot along with some poor guy on a bike who has nothing to do with anything.

The next big scene is a woman who is either pushed or falls into an oncoming train. The woman has a connection to a congressman who is oppossing a private defense company's rising power and is in the middle of congressional hearings.

Ben Affleck plays Steven Collins the congressman, Russell Crowe play Cal the reporter and the congressman's friend, Rachel McAdams plays his assistant- della frye.

I liked this film and so did my friend. I know people have said it is the usual , predictable movie...it somewhat it was, but it was still very good. It did have you guessing a little. All the acting was good.

It sounds good! I have started to not like Russel Crowe, but I think I'd see it anyway :-)
