Boasting a true all-star cast, State of Play takes a mystery-thriller and does a good job of building the right amount of tension and intrigue. Russell Crowe is almost 10 years removed from Gladiator but you’ll love his hair if nothing else.

I’m not going to give much away but I’ll just say that if you come across it somewhere, it’s well-worth your time if you’re in for a tight quasi-political thriller.
