state of play

saw the movie state of play with my friend tonight ... starring ben affleck, rachel mcadams, and russel crowe ... also some smaller roles for some well-known names in there as well ... like helen mirren, jason bateman, and jeff daniels ... viola davis also has a role in the movie ... that's that black chick from doubt ... also a great movie ... anyway so it's really good but it's also kind of long ... like two hours long ... but it really is good ... it's kind of a political thriller ... crowe and mcadams play reporters who work for the washington globe ... they are investigating the death of affleck's mistress ... affleck plays a congressman by the way ... their investigation reveals a tangled web of political and corporate corruption ... kind of a blackwater thing ... the story is very good ... the acting is very good ... and rachel mcadams is damn cute ... so yeah it's a good movie ... check it out ... 8/10 ...
