But when his research assistant falls to her death in the London subway, it threatens to shed light on buried secrets that could destroy his political career. Hot on the trail of this sensational story is reporter Cal McCaffrey (John Simm) and his editor Cameron Foster (Bill Nighy).

a very well constructed and well paced miniseries. It has a strong dramatic flow, and the acting is quite good.

The movie State of Play is equal to its brilliant source (the BBC television program aired in 2003). Until the end. Then it gets contrived and caves in. This article compares and contrasts the two.
