On the unavoidable rot that seeps into a free press when tainted by corporate influence, the failure of institutions and safeguards to protect vulnerable individuals, and the moral compromises necessary just to peaceably exist in a world straining against the suffocating boundaries of global capitalism. Boy, good thing we moved past all that.

This is Michael Mann in top form. The film is his follow-up to "Heat", and in many ways it's a companion piece. It's about two men who's life circumstances are irrevocably tied together as they mirror each other. In this film, both men must face the importance of telling the truth in face the great adversity. Both actors turn in powerful performances, and, somewhat surprisingly, Crowe is the more impressive of the two.
