Hollywood Explains the Fall of Real Journalismnew
I am a profound fan of State of Play, the tele-cinematical crumpet of solemn and fervent perfection the BBC offered us in 2003. Therefore, I am so glad to be able to say Hollywood didn't fuck up boiling down that six-hour story into a two-hour, 2009 version.

'State of Play' is a Pedantic Thriller Caught in its Own Obvious Clockwork
Nothing is organic and no situation believable in a movie that plays like a collection of isolated sub plots.
