State of Play is a political/journalist thriller that hits all the political and intrigue plot points.

Its somewhat predictable but does employ a good amount of twists and turns taht will keep you awake.

It involves a murdered political aide to a senator who is currently investigating a Blackwater type military company (24 anyone?) .

Ben Afflrck in his best acting job in years balances the always cool Russel Crowe and the alwyas perfect Helen Mirren.

Throw in that journalist Crowe is best friends with senator Affleck and you see the plot lines. Rachel McAdams plays the cub reporter for Crowe.

All in all, a decent thriller that will keep you watching the screen.
