Strong Subject - Good direction - but no story whatsoever !

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2015)

The only thing strong about the movie was its subject, and that perhaps got people to the theater, other than that a drag, with absolutely no story line. The acting was OK, but actors had little margin to show any acting skill.
Its hard to understand what did the investigation team did ? They went through some old documents and talked to a couple of lawyers. Thats not enough for a story line.
There is nothing extra ordinary that the so called spotlight team did - things just came to them - and they didn't do earlier anything for 20 years and finally published a report.
In case its an advertisement for the Boston Globe, its a bad one. The worst part is that its an important subject and needed a better effort than this.
