“I hope you took your strong pills today.”

These are the warning words of Senator Dianne Feinstein (Annette Bening) to her staffer Daniel J. Jones (Adam Driver), on their way to battle against CIA brass. You see, Jones was tasked with investigating, objectively and without bias, the reported torture of hundreds of suspected terrorists in the wake of 9/11 at the hands of CIA operatives.

Which begs the question: what wouldn’t the CIA do, if they thought it would produce anything of substance?
