Matthew Heineman directed the Hell out of this film, I can't wait to see what else he works on.

The performances are pretty great all around but the script is what lets this film down. It's a good script it's just a tad confusing at times and doesn't feel like it goes deep enough into this characters psyche or the conflicts she's covering.

Everything else is great though, the set pieces are brilliantly directed, I love the use of practical effects throughout (only minor CGI that I could tell), brilliant cinematography and a quiet, but effective score.

Another commentator here mentioned it, but a lot of biopics stretch out material so they have enough for a film, others have to rush some things along and never go far enough, this film falls into the latter. Entire years are skipped along with very little room to breathe.
