Rather boring, saved only by fantastic performances by Watts and Penn

Great performances overall by these two.

I have had much interest in this subject matter since it came to light some years ago. However, this movie felt completely rushed and simply did not explain enough to those without familiarity of the overall context of the situation.

Sure, without knowing about the situation the movie presents you can grasp the basics, but I was disappointed in the overall direction of this movie.

Very interesting topic -- a good movie, nothing better than that.

well, it seems you'd rather watch an investigative documentary.

this movie was more about character study, not trying to analyse the "Plame situation" and try to apportion blame.

The world is divided into people who think they are right.

Perhaps you should have watched it and let yourself get involved with the characters. I found it excellent. Of course if you like mounds of CGI, then this simply wasn't for you.

I thought the CGI helicopter dropping leaflets in Baghdad was phenomenal.
