Review of Nothing but the Truth (2008) by Mirzel T — 15 Mar 2011

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Period. I am pretty much alone on this one I am afraid. Shortly after release (like within days) the studio went bankrupt and all promotion was pulled...this became basically a straight to dvd movie.

Loosely based on the Valerie Plane/C.I.A scandal saga this movie does everything right and every performance- spot on. Even David Schwimmer! In another day, another time Kate Beckinsale would have won an Academy Award.

...just the way the cookie crumbles unfortunately. How happy I am that a friend told me about it, and I can tell you about it...and you can tell someone else about it... On top of everything else, a mind blowing ending that brings everything full circle.

This movie can be as simple a story about 2 soccer moms and the love of there children, and as complex as the importance of first amendment rights vs. national security. Right now- put this movie at the top of your queue.

I want to talk about it with someone .....but no one has seen it! Not enough stars out there to rate it. Over 5.
