i saw a trailer for this yesterday...hadn't heard anything about it.
Quote:
The film is set in Washington, D.C. and tells of Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck), a fast-rising United States Congressman with ambitions to become his party's presidential candidate. This goal is threatened after his mistress (a former research assistant) is found dead in suspicious circumstances, while right-wing opponents to Collins' campaign for social reform attempt to use the scandal to kill his political career. During a probe into a series of seemingly unrelated murders, Cal McCaffrey (Russell Crowe), an investigative journalist and Collins' former campaign manager, finds himself tasked with solving the case, becoming romantically involved with the Congressman's estranged wife (Robin Wright Penn) in the process
i know affleck hasn't really had any blockbusters for awhile now, but this looks interesting.
(oh, and doesn't crowe's appearance remind you of someone? if only he was wearing flannel... ).

Respectfully disagree. This looks like shit. Kind of a bastardized version of Michael Clayton with elements of "All The President's Men" and a faintly interesting (albeit pretty) cast.

I saw this movie last night and enjoyed it. It made me think a bit, which is probably too much for a movie for me right now given final exams coming up, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
Russell Crowe is pretty good.

i refuse to pay to see ben affleck on a screen, or on anything, ever, as a matter of fact.
why, did he beat you up or impregnate your sister once or something?
