| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
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 in State of Play, 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.
