STATE OF PLAY ****

This thriller feels all too real at times. Cal McCaffrey, an old-style journalist working for the Washington Globe.  He begins to investigate the death of a young woman who was a research assistant for his college friend, who is now an ambitious congressman.  He works to help the congressman to keep his career from being ruined when facts emerge there had been an affair  between the research assistant and the congressman.  The movie is a fast paced political thriller that is at once thought provoking and entertaining.  A menacing Blackwater-like group appears to be behind the young woman’s death and McCaffery is working against the clock to uncover the truth. 

Highly recommended!
