OPEN CAPTION: STATE OF PLAY
Rated PG-13; 118min; Director:Kevin Macdonald
Location: Alamo South Lamar
Oscar winner Russell Crowe leads an all-star cast in a blistering
thriller about a rising congressman and an investigative journalist
embroiled in a case of seemingly unrelated, brutal murders. Crowe
plays D.C. reporter Cal McAffrey, whose street smarts lead him to
untangle a mystery of murder and collusion among some of the nation’s
most promising political and corporate figures. From acclaimed
director Kevin Macdonald (THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND)!
Handsome, unflappable U.S. Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck)
is the future of his political party: an honorable appointee who
serves as the chairman of a committee overseeing defense spending. All
eyes are upon the rising star to be his party’s contender for the
upcoming presidential race. Until his research assistant/mistress is
brutally murdered and buried secrets come tumbling out.
McAffrey has the dubious fortune of both an old friendship with
Collins and a ruthless editor, Cameron (Oscar winner Helen Mirren),
who has assigned him to investigate. As he and partner Della (Rachel
McAdams) try to uncover the killer’s identity, McAffrey steps into a
cover-up that threatens to shake the nation’s power structures. And in
a town of spin-doctors and wealthy politicos, he will discover one
truth: when billions are at stake, no one’s integrity, love or life is
ever safe.
