San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
: Rumpled, rugged, focused - fundamentally decent - knowing and yet innocent in a way good reporters sometimes are - Crowe is the perfect study of the middle-aged, midcareer print journalist...

“State of play” was a very interesting film. It was all around decent movie. The movie has good story, great acting and excellent direction. This movie proved that Russell Crowe is a fabulous actor. He can portray different types of characters seamlessly. | | | | Reply | | |

A good entertaining, intelligent thriller movie. The plot always keeps you guessing. Russell Crowe is a genuine great actor. He did a fine job as the Washington Globe reporter who start of trying to help an old college buddy & then finds himself in the middle of a plot twisting intrigue. | | | | Reply | | |
