State of Play

I saw "State of Play" some days ago and I must say I was pleasantly suprised. I thought it would be another B-Movie with star cast, but it proved me wrong. Of course I could tell by the reviews that it would be at least decent, but it was more than just decent. The movie never got boring or tiresome and it kept the pace all the time.

Russell Crowe was flawless, Helen Mirren was great, Rachel McAdams proves the she can be the next Julia Roberts, Robing Wright Penn was moving, Ben Affleck proves that he can act (for the 2nd time in the decade).

My Top list of 2009 (yet):
1. Everlasting Moments
2. State of Play
3. The Edge of Love
4. Easy Virtue
