Steven Spielberg is my favorite director. But he was clearly on auto-pilot with this blantant example of Oscar-bait. Granted, given that it is a Spielberg movie, it's well made and the acting isn't bad. It's too bad the plot is predictable and hackneyed with its 'freedom of the press' message. Timely? Yes but without genuine passion outside of Oscar buzz, it is quite tiresome after a while. Still, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep together is its best asset and that part never gets old.
