Great political thriller.

Movies are always dramatizations and I have no idea how much truth there is in the story as told. It doesn't matter. I don't get my history from movies. As a film, this is outstanding - probably the best political thriller of the past several years.

I'm at a loss why it was not given more attention. I remember when it was released it looked interesting to me, but I've just now finally seen it and am very impressed.

Agree it was very good. I only knew about it because I've been digging into Doug Liman's work. He did a great job on this. And may I say the acting was fantastic in this. Naomi Watts was superb.
