FBI agent Daniel Jones performs an exhaustive investigation into the CIA's use of torture on suspected terrorists.

Critics Consensus

The Report draws on a dark chapter in American history to offer a sober, gripping account of one public servant's crusade for accountability.

For a political thriller, The Report is more sad than revelatory, more melancholy than cathartic. Jones's work was not entirely in vain. His revelations of a cover-up, though heavily doctored, eventually were made public.

The hackneyed script has the effect of lending an unmerited nobility to the politicians and bureaucrats on-screen.

4/5

Driver and Bening give detailed and thoughtful performances, and the film, though necessarily on the dry side, is riveting from start to finish.

I was intrigued from scene to scene, and my eyes couldn't leave the screen -- especially in the first half.

The Report is a bitterly rewarding dose of cinematic medicine — one where entertainment comes as a side effect of its visceral yet sobering examination of our all-too-recent history.

4/5

The Report is a love letter to the genre. [...] The viewer stands up from its comfortable cinema seat with a desperate thirst for truth. This means that the movie has pulled off its mission.

The story of Daniel Jones, lead investigator for the US Senate's sweeping study into the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program, which was found to be brutal, immoral and ineffective. With the truth at stake, Jones battled tirelessly to make public what many in power sought to keep hidden. What I love the most about this movie is that Adam Driver, who delivers an incredible performance as Daniel Jones, goes around yelling at people in The Report. Generally, when you have a boring story and great actors, the actors make the story superb and excellent. In this case, [Z. Burns] script is smoothly sharp, with great dialogue. The Report is a great movie, and is definitely one to look out for.
