The Whistleblower
Directed by: Larysa Kondracki
Cast: Rachel Weisz, Vanessa Redgrave, David Strathairn, Monica Bellucci
Running Time: 1 hr 57 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: August 12, 2011
Plot: The true story of Kathryn Bolkovac (Weisz), a former Nebraska cop who worked for the U.N as a peacekeeper in Bosnia and uncovered a sex trafficking ring involving U.N employees.
Who’S It For? This is for those who enjoy dramas driven entirely by drama, and also like a little politics with their tension.
Expectations: I hadn’t heard much about this movie, but I assumed that it might be something like last year’s Fair Game, which I didn’t like as much as Jeff Bayer did. I was hoping whatever “whistle-blowing” was happening would be preceded by a tense story.
