The cast was excellent. The script we know. But Comey's story opens a window into the real working world and sense of ethics of the FBI and DOJ, who, in spite of Hoover's historical stain and other faults, still work daily and nightly to catch criminals and foil terrorist attacks on our soil, on ourselves and our neighbors, no matter our political affiliations. It is an important narrative, and far better that Jim Comey tells the tale than a Steve Bannon. We are living through a dangerous cyber propaganda war, barreling toward christofascism under the chosen name "culture war". It is not a culture war. We have a race war being brewed up by white nationalist conspirators. The only good outcome possible is perhaps the churches will get a clue when they come face to face with the "Thou Shalt Not Kill" bit.. They must try to distance their members from the Turning-Point-type gangs' thugs: "When do we get to use the guns?" They've stocked up on ammunition. Note that. It's a serious story, our own story. It must be told and retold in this kind of narrative, linear, unrelenting, drawing character and revealing ethical imperatives, lest false narratives much repeated become the conventional wisdom. Cinematography was good. The lovely Jennifer Ehle encapsulated the visceral sober despair of women on the morning after the election of 2016. I went to the march too. What a great day. I'm sure we were heard loud in the White House. Some of my friends were shocked to their roots on Nov.9. I had been working for real election security for a long time and was not shocked. I did go and rescue a dog I found while canvassing, starved, unsheltered and thirsty. That took my mind off it for a few days. Back to work. I'll see you in the trenches.

One of the great films. Fascinating, plling, terrifying, well-acted. Great story. True, even.
