Nothing But the Truth

Director:
Rod Lurie
Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Matt Dillon, Vera Farmiga

Studio: Yari Film Group Releasing

The Plot: Reporter Rachel Armstrong (Beckinsale) is handed a jail sentence for refusing to name her source, a covert CIA operative, for her article on a American missile attack against Venezuela.

Writer-director Rod Lurie (Resurrecting the Champ) apparently distorts the Judith Miller/Valerie Plame affair to a humorous extent, but at least one reviewer has wondered aloud if the filmmaker intended to create a comic melodrama, or a more hard-hitting awards contender. No real matter, since it’s being positioned for a Best Actress nomination for Beckinsale and can potentially serve as a bitter/sweet note in a season of perhaps-too-earnest dramas of the war variety, and otherwise. Meanwhile, it’s not like Kate B. needed a career makeover or anything, but I’m glad to see she’s getting some grit under her fingernails, instead of more gore.
