The kind of movie I feel more obligation to like than actual enthusiasm. It’s undeniably well-made and -acted, though — the kind of prestige journalistic thriller that keeps you hooked. I think my biggest issue is that the story itself isn’t quite as rich and dangerous as the best of the genre — The Washington Post wasn’t even the paper that broke the story in question!

Is It Good?
Very Good (6/8)
Note: This capsule review was originally published elsewhere. If I watch this movie again, I might expand this to a full-length review.
