I’m no fan of Fincher, but this is just stunning, exerting a powerful grip in the opening few minutes and never letting go. The best journalistic thriller since All The President’s Men, which it consciously mimics, the film effortlessly sustains a mood of intense, creeping dread over a not insignificant running time. It’s visually flawless, the script crackles, the cast is uniformly excellent, and the sequence with Ione Skye (welcome back!) and her baby is the most terrifying I’ve seen in a good long while.
