State of Play

If you're into government conspiracy thrillers, and really, who isn't, might I suggest "State of Play".  I missed it when it came out a couple of years ago, but thank goodness for Netflix.  Finally watched it this week, and really liked it.  It's got a terrific cast - Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams, Ben Affleck (ok, maybe not Ben), Helen Mirren, Robin Wright, and Jeff Daniels.  The basic plot outline involves two supposedly unrelated killings, one of which was the mistress of a well-known Congressman.  That sets the story in motion as a couple of Newspaper Reporters try to hunt down the details of the conspiracy.  It's fun, it's suspenseful, and you're never really sure who are the good guys and bad guys.  I totally recommend it.
