3.5 out of 5

Key Performances:

  Alan Alda

Movie Haiku:Lurie creates an ethical chiller losely based on the Judith Miller case: Reporter (Beckinsale) goes to jail rather than reveal her source after she outs a CIA agent (Farmiga). Alda''s her attorney; Dillon''s the special prosecutor. Jan was knocked off her tush, but Rich thought some of the legalese was too melodramatic.
