The peril in building a murder-mystery thriller around a journalist is that a reporter is not a cop.
Yet just about everything Russell Crowe does in "State of Play," as D.C. reporter Cal McAffrey, relates to police work, not journalism.
He visits an autopsy room, withholds evidence, grills a witness in a safe house, comes under fire more than once and targets the perp. He seldom has deadlines or writes anything.
