My review: http://www.worldofkj.com/article.php?i=378

Sure The Whistleblower is an important story - - one that needs to be told - - but does it have to be told so freakin' arcanely?!?

Luckily, I could watch hours and hours of Rachel Weisz pouting assertively - - she's a knock-out!

Plus, the best thing in the movie is the fake name of the corporation she worked for:



...how whistleblowing on the whole state of modern affairs.


4 out of 5.

I can watch anything with Rachel Weisz, but my god this is amateur writing and directing. The dialog is exactly the kind that someone like me would write without any experience writing screenplays, trying to mimic movie speak. Like when people try to write screenplays like this:



That's literally what the dialog is like in this. It almost became cult classic level goofily charming in how amateur it was

I wasn't surprised whatsoever to find out on the IMDB page that they writer/director hadn't done any feature before. I really, really think this happened at some point last year: "Hey uncle Anthony, I wrote this script... it's an international thriller! I worked really hard on it!" "Alright I'll see if I can push it through. Anything for my favorite niece" - *2 months later* "Ok, they're going to make it, don't say I didn't do anything for you" "Oh and Anthony, could I direct it too? Pleaaaaase."

Still, not unwatchable. C

Weisz is very good and, as David said, you are left angry at film's end with the entire subject matter. There could of been some problems fixed in the middle but in the end it ain't too bad.

This was great thanks to Weisz's performance and the story is great but the ending leaves much to be desired. There are some great and haunting scenes but screenplay is bad. The settings specially of the dark places are great but anything related to the bureau was just another cookie-cutter movie. Still overall it does the job it plans to do.
