The Report

"An interesting story that is bogged down by a boring pace."

"hard to watch but it's important to know about this, esp as an american. the cinematography is stunning"

"Very interesting historical dive, and who couldn't jump along for the ride with Driver as the chauffeur (pun intended)"

"You should watch this, then seek out the brilliant Mauritanian for an unflinching additional perspective"

"A gripping yet dry exposé of CIA secrets – worth watching for Adam Driver's performance alone. "The Report" tackles the intense true story of Daniel J. Jones (Adam Driver), a Senate staffer who uncovers shocking CIA torture tactics post-9/11. Driver delivers a compelling, nuanced portrayal – his character's obsession and frustration are palpable. Supporting cast adds depth: * Annette Bening as Senator Dianne Feinstein brings gravity and wisdom * Jon Hamm as Denis McDonough conveys White House tension perfectly However, the film's pacing and style hinder impact: * Dry, documentary-like approach lacks emotional resonance * Overly technical jargon and Senate proceedings slow the plot * Character development beyond Jones feels limited Director Scott Z. Burns aims to educate and outrage – partially succeeding – but "The Report" feels more like a detailed news article than a gripping thriller. "

"So well researched and executed!"

"Excellent, intelligent and mad suspenseful. A must watch. "

"Excellent performance by Adam Driver...and it’s all true"

"Great historical drama"
