Jeremy Renner
Renner completely owns the story of Gary Webb - righteous reporter for an obscure California newspaper who uncovered and reported the US scheme to flood American cities with cocaine/crack to fund the illegal war in Nicaragua against democratic rule. He found that the rot went deep, to the very top of the hierarchy, and that once you expose the nakedness of the king your life will be torn to ribbons by his attack dogs in the media, CIA, FBI, etc.
Fast-paced, a bit superficial but a good intro to this story for those unfamiliar with it. I was pleased that the final title said Webb was found shot twice in the head. It was ruled a suicide.
