Movie: State of Play

[dejr_8]

What a great movie. Just watched it from Netflix. I don't even remember it being at theater.

Did you see the end coming?

One note: Ben Affleck needs to get a better wig.

I just DVR'd it last night, but haven't watched it yet. I love Russell Crowe, so I wanted to check it out. Glad it was good. I didn't know that Ben Affleck wore a wig! Am I the only one who didn't know?

I classify it as just watchable - it was ok. The story was good but it could have played out better.

Ben Affleck is just not a good actor, especially in a serious role. Even Rachel McAdams stunk and normally I like her very much. Russell Crowe was good, as usual. I thought it was predictable. I did not see the series it was based on, so I don't know how it measured up.

I saw the original British version a few years ago on BBC America...it was really good! So when it came out in theaters, I made DH come with me to see it. It was good, but I felt like it lost something in the translation

The series from BBC is available on Netflix and I strongly recommend watching it.

I saw it before the movie and like the series better, even though the movie wasn't bad.
