Writer and director Rod Lurie takes inspiration from the Valerie Plame scandal to make a compelling film about an ideal that's far noble than what actually happened. He tackles the story from the Judith Miller angle but without the part where she was actually used by the Bush administration. In this story a reporter outs a CIA agent but refuses to name her source on the base of freedom of speech who's incarcerated in return for contempt of court which ruins her private life. Lurie makes a strong case for journalists post 9/11 where National Security overrides Freedom of Speech. The excellent cast includes Kate Beckinsale, Matt Dillon, Vera Farmiga, Alan Alda, Angela Basset and Noah Wyle. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
