7.25 of 10. A solid R-rated political drama/thriller, with a twisted tragic/happy ending, figuratively and literally.
How does a well-informed government attorney familiar with the ways powerful people get caught and tracked in various levels of crimes get caught having illegal sex? Herein lies one way that doesn't involve any hacking or computer errors. It also provides an unexpected way out.
A few downsides like it doesn't make the location very clear, which is important when doing political stories with a close connection to reality, only briefly near the beginning indicating it's South Carolina. The rest of the way it could be any US urban/suburban area. They also opted to rarely use regional accents. And finally there's the bad product placement issues. None of it enough to stop the film from being worth watching, but it does stand in the way of something worthy of awards.
