this is a good movie...
people who are interested in movies involving journalists and government secrets leaked, may be a li'l disappointed.
the movie is centred around the character - Racheal Armstrong - a journalist who writes this story about how the president of the US attacked a country inspite of being told that they were innocent by a CIA agent.
it shows the level of commitment that she is willing to go to protect her source and how she is willing to face the consequences of doing so...
the ending is rather amusing, its not like the cliched underdog story. its far from any of that...
saw Matt Dillon after a long time - here playing the attorney representing the government.
Alan Alda - his age seems to be showing on him now, but nevertheless a good performance...
but the movie was carried, to a significant extent, by the brilliance potrayal of the journalist by Kate Beckinsale. she brilliantly switches from being the journalist/suburban soccer mom... to the harassed iron-willed journalist who wouldn't give up her source as a principle.
regards
poi
note: i wouldn't put this 1 in the you-definitely-gotta-watch-it category
it would be more apt in the if-in-the-mood-of-an-interesting-movie category...
