Original at Cleveland Plain Dealer

Movie Review: Tarnished star saves news thriller

USA To spell out or even imply how it betrays that trust would be saying too much, so it's better to view "State of Play" as the Russell Crowe show, with sides of journalism, murder and possible government conspiracy. The picture is more enjoyable that way ...

Gone are the "Gladiator" biceps and "Cinderella Man" six-pack. No matter. With his stringy long hair and slob-on-the-go portliness, Crowe unleashes a cunning, ferocious opponent worthy of any sleazy dirt bag in old-school reporter Cal McAffrey. ...

By brocknroll Directed by: Ridley Scott The acting of Leo Dicaprio and Russell Crowe was of course, real good. Another reason I liked about this movie was how Ridley didn't use too many big name stars. Most of the cast were unknowns. Russell and Leo were of course the only big names in the movie.

By Susan Porter One of Russell Crowe’s great strengths as an actor is his ability to portray the noble spirit of his characters. Maximus in “Gladiator” (2000), Jeffrey Wigand in “The Insider” (1999), Jim Braddock in “Cinderella Man” (2005), and even Ben Wade in “3:10 to Yuma.”
