This movie is an almost verbatim re-enactment of an FBI transcript.
These reviews seem to fall into two camps. People who accept moral ambiguity and those who want a clear cinematic delineation between good and evil.. Reality (her real name) is neither a crusading whistleblower nor a traitor, but a woman who'd serve honorably in the U. S. Air Force and becomes increasingly tormented by conscience,. The FBI agents are neither shining knights or cruel thugs but highly trained actors playing FBI agents (well -trained actors themselves) trying to tease out the truth.
In any case, all the characters are real human beings, not movie heros or villains.
The tension IS a slow build, but relentless.
People who want a slam bang action film with clearly obvious good guys versus bad guys, whether Reality OR FBI agents, and virtue triumphing over evil, are going to be sorely disappointed (as shown by the reviews) .
People who want a binary film experience should avoid this brilliant film at all costs.
Those fascinated by the fuzziness of profound moral dilemmas should rush out to see this film as soon as possible.
