Movie #1852 "The Report" -- this is an important film, but very difficult to watch. It can be streamed on prime video, and I am glad I did because I found it so informative. That's after you can get past the beautiful Annette Benning playing senator Diane Feinstein. Enough said about that. The film pretty much uses "that's the facts, ma'am" kind of style --- Adam Driver doesn't move his face or body much, and Diane Feinstein doesn't flinch much --- I didn't know Dan Jones' name and I should (and everyone should) because this staffer worked on this story for years and years and years. The powers that be put him in a small room with two other people and a bunch of computers and then when he resurrects with a story, one of the people quits and everyone tries to muzzle him and the other guy. The story is very cold, but if you are in it for the information, I would recommend it. I'd give it 4 out of 5. Important story to know, but geez, not sure I wanted to see waterboarding in action. But I guess that's the point!, isn't it?
