While it certainly looked interesting, the story unfortunately uses a lot of words to say nothing new.
I'm voting 2/10 because of Redford's direction of Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise; I found their characters very believable and found the casting perfect. Cruise as the senator looks like a smart a$$ (pardon the expression) and Streep is perfect as the journalist.
And the final 2/10 is for Philippe Rousselot's cinematography work.
Not as interesting as it could be.
Watch only if you must.
4/10
