I ran it through spell check

Warning: Spoilers
This is an interesting true story other than Kiera Knightly doesn't look anything like Katherine Gun, but did star in The Imitation Game. While working for GCHQ in 2003 she discovers a top-secret memo from the US wanting help in gathering blackmail information on UN Security Council members who might vote against the war in Iraq. Such a vote was necessary for Britain to go to war. The film has her disclose the memo, it goes to the London Observer who attempts to verify it as The Drudge Report claims the authentic memo is false. (How can one guy be 100% wrong 100% of the time?)

There wasn't much courtroom drama and in fact, we knew that she would fail and we would go to war. It is interesting to see how things operated. The story was well done. Well acted. But even still wasn't much of a film.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
