The problem here is not Richard Dreyfuss who, despite suggestions that his ear is wired for prompting, convinces as a once-fearless American journalist who exposed his country’s policy of torture and is now being forced by a grand jury to reveal his source. Nor is the problem David Suchet, who is very fine as the defence lawyer. The problem is that director Kevin Spacey has chosen an inadequate play by Joe Sutton that disappears up its own self-importance. That is the problem.
