So I managed to bag a free ticket to go and watch a preview of State of Play today. I knew the film was coming out but I was a little reserved by the thought of watching it as I’m not the biggest Russell Crowe fan, that said I did enjoy the TV series. Anyway, a free film is a free film and it’s not often they have tickets available for round here.
So what did I think? Could Russell Crowe replace John Simm as the reporter? I went in with an open mind, and hoped I would enjoy the film. I wasn’t actually disappointed, which is a good thing I guess. Gritty, sarcastic and a few funny moments. It was well cast, especially with Helen Mirren as the chief at the newspaper, Cam.
Anyway, I love something with a good twist in it, book, film or TV, this had more twists than a helter skelter. Very enjoyable, definately worth a watch. Especially if you liked Enemy of the State.
