Rating: 7.5/10Genre: Drama
Overall value for time and money: 7.5/10
An unforgettable storyplot, an unforgettable ending. This film takes you on the dark side of justice, only difference with most others is, the main protagonist is a lady. News writer Rachel Armstrong outed a CIA agent and is put behind bars for refusing to disclose the identity of source. The start of the movie scraps the surface of the different chracters, but as it progresses, pulls you deeper into the pysche of several supporting leads, especially the main protagonist, Rachel.
The feel of the movie gets gloomier and darker with each minute and one cannot but empathize with Rachel for holding so strongly to her morals and yet being "ill-treated" by the justice system. There were a handful of extremely powerful lines which really impressed me a lot. One of the which was, *spoilers ahead*, "I'm not representating a principle, I am representing a person!" said by Rachel's defending attorney.
I was wondering where the movie would lead too when I knew it was about to end, and the ending sequence sure left me satisfied. There isn't much story to spoil, apart from the ending; it has a rather predictable storyline but what made this movie wasn't so much as the unpredictability of it, but the realism and the engagement of the characters which makes this more than just you average popcorn movie.
