Synopsis
The Report is a riveting thriller based on actual events. Idealistic staffer Daniel J. Jones (Adam Driver) is tasked by his boss Senator Dianne Feinstein (Annette Bening) to lead an investigation of the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program, which was created in the aftermath of 9/11. Jones’ relentless pursuit of the truth leads to explosive findings that uncover the lengths to which the nation’s top intelligence agency went to destroy evidence, subvert the law, and hide a brutal secret from the American public.

Made me want to go watch Zero Dark Thirty, which doesn't seem like the intent
Patrick WillemsJan 27, 2019A bracing and unwaveringly journalistic dramatization of the largest investigative review in U.S. Senate history, “The Report” is so dry that it makes “Spotlight” feel like a Fellini movie by comparison. In isolated stretches, the rigor of Scott Z. Burns’ screenplay and the…
davidehrlichNov 10, 2019The early scenes of this movie made me think about Zero Dark Thirty. Then a few minutes later, Adam Driver actually watches Zero Dark Thirty onscreen. And I suppose that is exactly how the people who made The Report would like it to rest in our minds in relation to ZDT.

we tortured some folks. glad a broad corrective on this history is finally out there in a digestible way but it really needed a fincher to take it to the next level. (the rousing speechifying near the end, for example, is a mistake i think.) as is though, it's a pretty…
Josh LewisOct 28, 2019Occasionally hamfisted, deliberately unsexy, absolutely didactic; the inevitable comparisons to SPOTLIGHT both pro and con won't be unfounded. Sure it lacks the formal elegance/aggression of, say, ZODIAC or ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, but of course Scott Z. Burns is no Alan…
matt lynchNov 30, 201928 Even Adam Driver can't save this dense wikipedia page from flopping completely on a dramatic level. So lifeless, so lamely rooted in the refusal to direct or explore the dramatic functions at the fringes. In comparison, Spotlight plays out like a show off.

I could watch Adam Driver angrily yell at Dianne Feinstein all day.
Brian TallericoDec 7, 2019no one who "needs to" see it will watch it, and everyone else will likely find it as uncinematic as I do. agree with Jon Hamm that 7,000 pages is a lot of pages
fran hoepfnerDec 2, 2019I am a complete mark for any movie about a righteous protagonist sifting through documents to obtain the truth about a horrific crime. This is that in spades, with Adam Driver perfectly cast as the thorough-to-the-point-of-obsessive lead investigator for the Senate torture…

SO SO GOOD. LITERALLY MY EYES WERE GLUED AND I WAS ENGROSSED THE ENTIRE TIME.
Andrew Fink likedThe ReportAdam Driver stars as Daniel Jones as his team attempt to investigate the CIA and their actions against detainees following 9/11. Good movie. The story is clear and what carries the movie - the acting was serviceable but nothing stellar. Worth a watch if interesting to you. 7/10
Sophie lovedThe ReportWow. This was such a tough watch. It's truly intense. I kept thinking how could anyone ever be so perverse and cruel? Not just those who actively participated, but all of those who approved and defended it. Brilliant movie, everything about it is outstanding.
- David Vlastuin is "meh" onThe Report
Great acting from Adam😀 The movie was so long and so much information 😵 Daniel L. Jones wrote a 500 pages document of the waterboading method, but more impressive is how many documents he read… How Ms. Feinstein supported Daniel was awesome😳
Leah likedThe ReportThis had a LOT of political jargon and was difficult to follow. But once I started trying to pay attention, I got REALLY heated and upset about the outcome. I wasn’t expecting to get so emotionally invested. Very intense but I recommend
D. Tabak lovedThe ReportAdam Driver's acting is incredibly good. A real life story that I knew absolutely nothing about. I guess the European media were not very interested. It's a movie that will make you not believe everything the government says.
- Jenn likedThe Report
Usually not a fan of drama, but the story kept me hooked through the entire movie. Adam Drivers acting made it clear how desperate and determined the Dan was to get the report out in public. Props my guy 😎
Millicent is "meh" onThe ReportInteresting story and good cast - it dragged though. Adam Driver seems so one note in this. I think this could be cut in half - and it was very repetitive.
Andres Rivera likedThe ReportAdam Driver portrays perfectly the frustration of dealing with the authoritarian management of the USA’s agencies, disguised as “patriotism”

The issues it addresses are, to say the least, crucial ones, and even though it trusts its audience to trudge through some dense material, the audience should repay that trust. Here’s hoping it will.

Although it’s no doubt intentional that Driver plays Jones as tireless and single-minded, the overall narrative of The Report might have been helped by more character-building.

There are occasional visual flourishes — a nightmarish PowerPoint presentation ending with a slide about mock burials — that hint at the better-balanced film The Report might have been. But mainly we’re pinned down by a firehose-stream of didactic outrage.
