It's not particularly dramatic or even fascinating to watch.

The film is never less than watchable, and thanks to the collective efforts of Smith, Morse, Baldwin and Brooks it's oftentimes more than that.

A crusading whistleblower movie, not too far from (though slightly inferior to) 'The Insider,' both an actor's showcase and a vehicle for creating restrained goosebumps.

While still alarming to an engaging and thought-provoking degree, the film counts as a missed opportunity.
