Dillion as Dubois is a publich proseutor came into movie, At the end of the movie may viewer will call Dubois as a villan in the movie,But he is only doing his job as a lawyer of US goverment.
This case started where one sided is goverment and another side is Rachel the Captiol-Sun-Time
journalist. On the fist hearing of her case she told judge about the rights of journalist in the country.
But judges declined her because this is the case of national security.
They wants to know because, They thinks that if any journalist can know about this type of confidencial things than any other one can also, Which will became too much danger for the national security of the country.
They sented her to jail. Whenever the judges call her for the hearing of her case in the court and whatever she do to defend her than oppositon only ask her to tell the name of her source or go to jail again, She is sented to jail very time because she denied everytime to tell the name of her source.
When she almost spend her more than one year on the jail than the judges or court decided to let her go becasue they done whatever is possible to find out the name of her source but is not revealing the name of that person.
She is free to go they released her from jail and her journalist friend came to jail to received her from jail,When they are on the way of home. Again police caught them and took Rachel to jail.
This movie inspired by the Judith miller case, Who is a reporter of New York Time, He spend 85 days in jail for refusing his source name in the Valerie Plane affair.
In this movie script writting is very good and different,Story based on the rigth of reporter to publish the confidental truth report or story to the public but goverment caught her for publishing that bnews or story and sent her to the jail untill she tell them the name of her source of information.
The character building on the movie is brilliant. Every character in the movie is perfect according to their performance. No typical shots or camera angles used in the movie. Director maked this simple but intresting. No use of sound effect in the movie but backgroud music is very good which matches the scenes and plot.
Director created suspenses till the end of the movie and you also cannot who is the source of information of that reporter. The concept is totally different because you cannot judge or asume who is the real victim in the movie.
