Cast Members Talk “State of Play”
Hey, fans of sophisticated political thrillers, I’d like to briefly call your attention to State of Play. The new film (based on the acclaimed BBC miniseries) presents Russell Crowe *girlish sigh* as a street-wise reporter and Ben Affleck as a congressman with a dead mistress (briefly portrayed while alive by Strangers with Candy’s Maria Thayer—we love you, Tammi Littlenut!). Let the intrigue begin.
Some prospective viewers might wonder if a two-hour movie from a major studio can compete with the Brits when it comes to complex storytelling, but the film version does a fine job of streamlining the plot, and should be found highly entertaining—even for those who can’t tell the house from the senate. Below, members of the star-studded cast comment on the project. --Leah

Thanks for providing that video! I loved the film, saw it twice and can't wait to have the DVD. A shame that more films like this aren't being made!! Karen

State of Play was good but I thought it was going to be alot better. commercials have a good way of making you think something about a movie. I thought this was going to be alot more actiony. I also thought the main character Cal was a detective.
The beggining was the best part overall but the rest wasn't as good. The ending scenes are also good and match up about to the beggining. The plot is kinda boring but its still sorta intresting. fantastic anting to Russell ( i think) who played Cal. State of play is good. Watch it but don't let the commercials fool you
