Nothing But the Truth

Loved the movie

This is a great movie showing us how injustice gets started by over zealous individuals in high positionsmake serious blunders in our justice system. Thank God for those who stand up for what is right.

"I told her that I was there to represent her and not her principle. And it was not until I met her that I realized that with great people there's no difference between principle and the person."Not only does this film dive into deep philosophical and moral commentary, but it was a very enjoyable watch. I was glued to the screen for the duration of the film. There's plenty of suspense, and I think the scenes showing impact on the reporter's family was important for telling the story, ideally helping viewers relate.This movie is important for those who are principled. It's a story of sticking to your guns and doing what is right, no matter the consequences. It's also foreshadowing to the power of the federal government. Since this film was released, the DOJ has attack journalists for not disclosing their sources to the feds.I think this film is mostly philosophically neutral, and only the biggest worshipers of federal bureaucracy's supreme power may be offended. Unfortunately, there is enough sexual material that this film probably shouldn't be shown in school or to children, even though there is a good lesson to be learned from this story.

This film should annoy you as it shows how the goverment of our country works. Why it is not all real it came all to close to the true story. It raises all sorts of moral conflicts. such as the need of the press tp protect the sources (if you didn't you wouldn't have a free press) and the need of the Govement to get knowledge of crimes. It begs the question, did the Federal DA really need to go so far? When the third source is found out your mind says what else does she know that would help. The price the reporter pays, the loss of families, all for a principle that many don't understand at all. It is a film that will get you emotional and feel for the two people really caught up in the middle and was the last act of the DA really required???????? Get and watch this film and rewatch as it really does show how far a goverment will go to protect itself and the moral issues.

I purchased this film recently after seeing it twice on Netflix disc, and I admit it was just good enough IMO to purchase, though I am not sure I will watch it much, if at all, in the future. It concerns a woman who refuses to reveal her sources for a reason revealed in the film, and chooses to go to jail, which of course is painful to her and her family. An intelligent, if not riveting film, with a surprise ending which explains her reluctance.

I worked makeup on the film and had not seen it in its entirety until a few months ago. Good story, great actors, plot takes a bit of a twist. Based loosely on true story. P.S. Kate Beckinsale is a doll in real life!

Wow...talk about a suspenseful movie!!! I was in suspense waiting for this movie to get better. Alas...it never did. The acting is STELLAR!!!! It's the plot and story which are dull. I mean...it just doesn't get exciting. Don't misunderstand, there are definite moments of excitement, but they are far and few in-between. Matt & Kate are great.

This movie was recomended to from a friend overseas,and I am very happy to listen to him,I think everyone who leave in this country must see this movie,this is about every day life in our Goverment that we don't know anything about them.even it is not a truth story,but is very close to what happend hear few years ago. It is a must see movie.

Well-acted and well-written but let down by a rather weak ending. Matt Dillon is excellent as the villain who is not really villainous; Kate Beckinsale is tenacious but a little wooden; Vera Farmiga is excellent. There is a descent into fiction (which I won't reveal here) that is frankly unnecessary - staying with the facts woud have been better . . .

Nothing But The Truth is a thought provoking movie, beautifully acted, centring on aspects of justice, transparency, and relationships.The 'big names' act well, in particular Alan Alda who plays a slick lawyer with a conscience. Kate Beckinsale who plays the part of a journalist, makes a tortured heroine, who is prepared to sacrifice all that she holds dear, for the principle of not naming her 'source'.There is a twist in the tale that comes right at the end, but I urge you to take 108 mins of your time to watch this movie and allow yourself to be challenged and ask yourself, would I be prepared to do this ?

Better than I expected.Well written drama with good acting.

Excellent thought provoking film, such a shame it did not get a wider release. Well acted by whole cast.

THE TRUTH IS AFTER SEEING THIS A MONTH AGO,I`M DARN IF I CAN REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT IT
