Based on a true story. This was an entertaining movie completely held together by Jeremy Renner's performance as a reporter who uncovers our government's involvement with drug dealers to fund the contra rebels in the Iran-Contra war. This movie covers no new ground in the journalistic integrity department as any movie about journalists seems to cover this ground - just wish our journalists today still had this type of ethics and integrity. Renner continues to prove what an accomplished actor he is, as he carries this whole movie and the movie does shy away from the complexities of his character's past.
Overall this movie doesn't break any new ground but is an entertaining watch. You won't regret the two hours of watching it - that is saying something.
