Still holds up as an incredible investigative journalism/political thriller, especially for an American adaptation of an English miniseries as good as the 2003 miniseries with John Simm, David Morrissey, Kelly Macdonald and Bill Nighy. Apart from this and House of Cards, Americanized adaptations of English miniseries don't usually pan out well, but this one *absolutely* does, thanks in no small part to the master of thrillers, Tony Gilroy, along with Matthew Michael Carnahan and Billy Ray covering the screenwriting. Absolutely worth a watch if you're into both investigative journalism *and* political thrillers!

How high? Well, that of course varies fro More
