Just caught this through Netflix, and thought it was a pretty damn good film. It takes its influence from the Valerie Plame/Judith Miller story, but then takes its own direction. Rod Lurie (The Contender) wrote & directed a pretty solid cast - Kate Beckinsale, Vera Farmiga, Angela Basset, Matt Dillon, Alan Alda. Beckinsale is pretty good as the lead, but it's Farmiga that is absolutely aces in this. There's a great scene where she meets with her CIA superiors at Arlington where you can feel every bit of her frustration. Pretty much everything I see her in she's one of the best things about the film.
The bit at the end where the source is revealed left me thinking about the whole ordeal that the film was about, though. Almost felt like she wasn't wanting to reveal the source because of how she would be perceived as a reporter...
Apparently the distributor filed Chapter 11, and the film went straight to DVD - recommend checking this one out...
