This movie is a dramatization of real events, but ends up being much more than that. It starts off slow to be certain, but it keeps on hinting at what's to come -- I went into the theaters knowing nothing of the size of the scandal involved, but you can almost immediately tell that there is a lot going on beneath the surface. More and more of the big picture is revealed as the film goes on, and my opinion of it kept rising right up until the credits rolled -- that's really not an experience I find common in movies nowadays. 4/5 stars, definitely worth a watch.
