The Report

POSITIVES…

  • Adam Driver continues to demonstrate how he is one of the best actors today. Gives the needed gravitas and importance to the role of Daniel Jones.

  • Annette Bening shows us a restrained but powerful performance here us Senator Dianne Feinstein.

  • Supporting strong ensemble cast helps carry this movie as well.

  • As an investigative political thriller about the attempted cover-up of the CIA’s use of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (AKA torture), this is a fascinating movie to watch.

  • The themes about government oversight, accountability, misguided patriotisms, corruption, and political maneuverings, are important lessons that are rightfully brought up in this movie.

  • Some lines of dialogue here are just bitingly and insightfully well written. Just one of the high points of watching this film.

  • Senator John McCain.

NEGATIVES…

  • It’s a bit of a slow burn.

  • This is a political story that mostly consists of talking heads. Not exactly action-packed, which means this isn’t going to be for everybody (although it should be).
