We thought this was a very good movie. Reminded me of the thoughts I had during that turbulent time. At the time I suspected that General Powel was being feed misinformation that he presented in his morning briefs. Later in Powel's…

This film, unfortunately, soft-pedaled the crucial role of the Israel-firsters in the drive to illegally invade Iraq on false pretenses in 2003. For example, the cowardly tool Colin Powell referred to the Zionist claque surrounding…

Outstanding movie tracing the Bush administration's deliberate exposure of Valerie Plame's CIA operative status, as well as some of the lies the administration fabricated in order to justify waging war on Iraq. Great performances and…

Riveting portrayal of real-life story of how several in our government turned on a good female CIA agent and ruined her career and turned her life and and her family's life upside down because her husband, a journalist, told the truth in…
Starting as a spy thriller, it turns to focusing on life inside a media storm in Washington. The special feature is commentary by Plame and Wilson. I watched/listened to the whole thing again. Very interesting stuff.

Typical ultra-lib Hollywood garbage written by ideologically and politically challenged idiots. You can take all of the brains in Hollywood, cook them down into a DNA soup, and still not have enough intelligence to do anything really…

I dont know, but I think there was some speculative creative license used to encourage me to sympathize with the main characters. To see first hand the consequences to foreign citizens and their families for revealing an undercover…

Good movie, worth a watch. Based on true events and still entertaining. Good ole USA always at the top of the power pyramid and a look at what they will do to stay there. Saddam was a tyrant, but...lying just to start a war? But I am sure…

Unfortunately, Ms. Plame - - whom I do respect although she still believes in Boy Scout America - - American Exceptionalism - - may never get it. She is being successfully contained at some sort of think tank against the spread of WMDs -…

Extremely well done. Of course the subject matter is all took up with Bush (Cheney, that is) shenanigans. Seeing Bush now is worse than a nightmare; I have to achieve enlightenment to wake up from this. >>>>> Could have been a soaring…

An American neo-liberal film. Although it elicided the audience's sympathy and did clearly portray the manipulations of the Bush administration, it is worth remembering that Plame was a CIA agent.

I read the book of the same title, but the film is much better because the script is tight without the details of her trainig as a CIA agent.
The Bush administration manipulated intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq.
And Scooter…

A good spy thriller which is actually based on a real spy's actions. It protrays a terrible time for US politics and demonstrates the government is not always the good guys. Penn and watts perfom their roles well, as do the other actors…

I didnt love it, nor could I turn it off. Still a very interesting story, and one worth telling. Maybe it would have been better as a documentary instead of a motion picture. The acting was top notch.
