Well directed, well acted and tastefully told so it doesn’t delve into too much detail for shock value which kept the movie very much focused on the journalistic side of the tale and that served the picture very well. Also, the fact that film didn’t try to portray anyone as heroes was a classy move as there were no winners in this story and it felt like the actors were actually living the part as the rolling stone gathered its moss and the cover up went deeper and deeper which gave it an almost documentary like feel at times.

Great acting all around with Michael Keaton playing a great part as the editor of the investigative team (I still preferred his performance in Birdman) and Liev Schreiber excellent as the papers new editor who first highlights the potential story, but Mark Ruffalo was the standout as the bulldog like Mike Rezendes, though I still can’t see him beating Tom Hardy to the best supporting actor Oscar.

I highly recommend that you watch this film, it’s not the quickest paced and the subject matter is delicate so it may not be for everybody, but it’s a well told story and a must for any movie fan.
