A movie worth seeing because it deals with important issues in current events. But the tone is garden variety earnest with very little of the suspense that might have been gained by fictionalizing events. Imagine how exciting the latter half could have been if Naomi Watt's character had been overseas, trapped in Iraq with the people abandoned by the CIA? Real tension would have made for a much more enjoyable film, rather than just a worthy but not terribly engaging current events piece.

This was REAL LIFE not a bloody reality show.
This was a movie. A fictionalization from the get go. Which imposes restrictions that are not absolute.
Helllooo!!! A fictionalization from the get go? That indicates you have no idea what the movie was even about, or something like that. It was based on a true story, which the rest of the planet does not call FICTION!
Lots of true stories are made into movies. That is called fictionalization. There is a difference between documentary (fairly close to reality) and other dramatizations / fictionalizations which take real events and filter them through the various requirements of making a 2 hour or less movie. That is what a fictionalization is. My point is that if you are going to fictionalize (the real Valerie Plame and her husband were only a little like the characters depicted in the movie), then you might as well make choices that make the story more exciting. Change the names and put the characters in danger, etc. Be that as it may, this film demonstrates why we need Wikipedia. FREE ASSANGE.
