Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

nadinesalakovv Kate Beckinsale plays the character Rachel Armstrong, a reporter who outs a CIA Agent. The government want to know who her source is, she refuses to name her source which results in her being thrown in jail.This is a well-acted motion picture that is inspired by real events. This movie does a good job of making sure it is in no way glamorous. This is a down-to-earth flick in many aspects even down to the point of the cinematic colour theme which doesn't feature loud colours.Rachel Armstrong is a strong character that as another character mentions "Has the keys to her own cell", she could easily use the get out of jail free card by naming her source, but she refuses due to how much she believes in reporting as well as bigger things that are happening outside of that with the government.This is a must-watch, however there are some scenes that could've been edited out and some dialogue could've been changed.Like many independent films "Nothing But The Truth" is underrated and overlooked, the fact that it never got a theatrical release could have contributed to that fact.Sex: One sex scene. Strong Language: Yes, throughout. Violence: Off-screen murder scene, and a brutal physical assault/women fighting in jail.

TonyMontana96 (Originally reviewed: 19/02/2017) Here is a political thriller that's plain and simple forgettable; despite some good performance from a well-able cast. The film starts off rather interesting, getting the story outlined and so forth with decent direction from Rod Lurie, but even then there was some poor dialogue which I think was just unfunny and unnecessary, this line was "Eggs give you cancer", says the little boy, Schwimmer replies "I'll finish your cancer", not only is this out of context but I surely don't like jokes about serious subjects such as cancer. Before I get to my major problems with the story, I have a few nit-picks, Beckinsale is merely trying to help Farmiga but she is consistently unlikeable at first, calling Beckinsale "an unpatriotic little c**t", almost in front of her son, which I found most unnecessary. Another is that the judge is unbelievably one sided which I have rarely seen in actual, strong thrillers and even courtroom dramas, surely the judge has to be somewhat fair and not favour one client unless there is a pay-off going on which was unsurprisingly not the case. Lurie's script is also completely subpar when it's not being stupid and dull.Another howler in the dialogue is when Farmiga tells another female CIA operative "you're so lucky you're a woman, because I don't hit girls", which is more pure idiocy which doesn't land whether it was intended to be funny or not. However there are some positives; I like some of the humour, including two instances; one where Beckinsale's character is told by a female prison officer that there is no sex aloud, this includes "eating Pussy", I found this fairly amusing, as I have never heard someone actually try and use that joke in this type of situation, the other instance was when Beckinsale is being interviewed and she's confronted about her source and she has a speech that involves "because the government doesn't care where Paris Hilton had dinner last night; which put her in her place on national television and was a well-timed, amusing line.There is a couple of smart lines of dialogue, such as one where a character is told he's making a mistake and he says " sometimes a mistake is invading Russia in the winter", but there's not much in terms of these kinds of lines which is a shame. The performances are respectable for the most part, but mainly from Kate Beckinsale (Rachael, the reporter), Alan Alda (Albert, her lawyer) and Angela Bassett Bonnie, Rachael's boss), but I still think Matt Dillion (Patton, prosecutor) and Vera Farmiga (Erica, CIA operative) are also pretty good. David Schwimmer (Rachael's husband) is merely passable and his character is a first class asshole, that doesn't even bother to patiently wait for his wife, and jumps into bed with another woman as soon as she's imprisoned. There was one point where I was thinking Rachael's time in prison is at least not a cliché but later on she does end up getting beaten up, which like most films with prison sequences is predictable and tiresome. My main problems with the story are two big points, 1) Erica end's up getting shot by a guy pretending to be lost who clearly has a gun in his left hand, now wouldn't a CIA operative have more intelligence and be more cautious when under scrutiny from possible treason? The film insults the intelligence of trained operative's and the audience with it.2) The ending; so the source she was protecting was an 8 year old girl? I highly doubt the government would take action from an 8 year old, let alone kill her, so many like myself will consider the ending a waste of their time; once the ending is revealed the film is completely useless and you leave disappointed and unsatisfied. I did however find the first half or so at least intriguing, but it soon devolves into a slow paced, boring film with a forgettable plot, mediocre writing and a sexist remark thrown in to get the feminists riled up; you should find this during the but if it was a man and not a woman speech towards the third act of the film. Nothing but the Truth even pulls the character back into jail before the end credit's so we can see how it was all a pointless affair, there's plenty of clichés on offer, and that's not the main problem; the fact is, this is a poor political thriller which is forgettable, uninspiring and takes Rachael 237 days to nearly get free from, lucky her, for me it felt even longer, this picture is a waste of time.

casablancavic This has now entered into one of the best films I've ever seen.With an a very well constructed story, very strong dialogue, fantastic casting and great performances.This film is exceedingly important and plays an integral part on so many levels.The reviewers who claimed the ending was flawed certainly missed the entire scope of the story...in-fact, the ending made it more important than if it had been an inside government leak.This movie surpasses almost every other movie about government corruption and conspiracy and does so with conviction and skilled story telling and brilliant performances from everybody on every level.I'm glad that there are people who have the principles to stand up to this kind of pressure to protect others beliefs, rights and identities, without thinking of how it may place themselves in danger.

mkrems Definitely Kate Beckinsales best role. I've seen her in Underworld, Pearl Harbour and much more, but this is her best one. Vera Farmiga also plays wonderful, except Matt Dillon. He looks kind of bored in the whole movie.Good Story, good acting and an ending which is OK. There are just some little things, where I can say, that they were bad. The acting of Matt Dillon, which I have mentioned before. The ending, which isn't lame, but it is really predictable. And the boring David Schwimmer, which is as boring as hell. Nothing special, but more than good.7 out of 10 for Nothing but the Truth
