A complicated story of politics, journalism, scandals, friendship, murder, drugs, secrets and cover-ups. A multi-billion-dollar military corporation is trying to take over the US government’s domestic and international armed forces. Congressman Ben Affleck is trying to stop it. Journalist Russell Crowe is investigating it.
Like I stated above, it’s the cast that drew me to the film. It’s not my favourite genre but it’s quite exciting and well-acted. Crowe is cute in long hair and he drives a Saab instead of the movie world’s favourite, a Volvo.
