Show all (5)Handsome, unflappable U.S. Congressman Stephen Collins is the future of his political party--an honorable appointee who serves as the chairman of a committee overseeing defense spending. All eyes are upon the rising star to be his party's contender for the upcoming presidential race. Until his research assistant/mistress is brutally murdered and buried secrets come tumbling out. D.C. reporter Cal McCaffrey has the dubious fortune of both an old friendship with Collins and a ruthless editor, Cameron, who has assigned him to investigate the murder. As he and partner Della try to uncover the killer's identity, McCaffrey steps into a cover-up that threatens to shake the nation's power structures. And, in a town of spin-doctors and wealthy politicos, he will discover one truth: when billions are at stake, no one's integrity, love or life is ever safe.

If you love movies about corrupt military veterans, corrupt government, corrupt corportations, and journalist represented as the only remaining intelligenct bio-mass left on earth capable of printing only the truth; then this is film is for you.
Bad acting, poor dialogue, weak plot, and sloppy editing are the hallmark characteristics of the film.
If anyone figures out what all the helicopters have to do with anything in the movie, please enlighten us with a review here.
Also, if anyone knows why the cold blooded insane killer Amy veteran suddenly wants to have a casual philosophical conversation with the journalist he's supposed to kill as the police arrive, I think that would also be helpful.
This movie is just awful.
"State of Play" looks like a provocative, '70s-style political thriller, and it's the murder of a a rising congressman's young mistress that drives the narrative. (Full review)
