An Entertaining Story with Confusing Ending
30 August 2009
It's a journalist turned detective film about government conspiracy. The story itself was intriguing enough, although as the movie progressed and the pieces of the conspiracy are being put together, the movie made less and less sense, till at the end where it made no sense. It's very disappointing in this regard.

However, the acting and directing are great and if you can put up with an unsatisfying conclusion and a story with holes in it, then you'll be very entertained indeed.

On a side note, I was impressed that the story didn't have (consipicuously) a romantic subplot. This added maturity and realism to the film.
