Bourne director Doug Liman takes on the true story of CIA operative Valerie Plame, who had her covert status blown by a White House leak.
Her husband, former diplomat Joe Wilson, was rattling a few cages over the invasion of Iraq, and those headlines are now a feature film, with class actors Naomi Watts and Sean Penn in the lead roles.
I’ll see anything with Penn in the credits, and Watts more than holds her own in the compelling true story.
Four stars.
