This film is okay and it satisfied me. State of play is directed by Kevin Macdonald . the film is written by Matthew Michael Carnahan .The story is about a death of a congressman's mistress and a talented cop tries to identify the murderer. The film is very well narrated by the director and the selection of star cast is good.
Without the presence of Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck this film would be an ordinary film. Russell Crowe performance is extraordinary and Ben Affleck has backed him very well. As usual Rachel McAdams has done her role magnificently. The suspense is very well maintained till the end. The background score is pleasant and overall music is good. I would give three stars for this wonderful film. If you want to watch a full time thriller this film will be the rite choice for you.
