Though the movie seemed like nothing new to Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, I'm glad I saw State of Play.
Touching on the controversial topic of the privatization of war and combat, State of Play is a well done film with plenty of twists.

To be honest though, a conspiracy film with plenty of twists, plot, and surprises is nothing new.
I'm afraid I can't recommend this film. Not unless you're willing to sit through a full-length film for the sake of seeing Rachel MacAdams looking completely beautiful.
Or if you just want to see Robin Wright Penn for the sake of seeing, well, Robin Wright Penn.

Factoid: Jason Bateman and Ben Affleck have a scene together in a motel in Smokin' Aces, and they do again in State of Play.
