If you loved Nothing But the Truth, try The Contender

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Rod Lurie, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Nothing But the Truth, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Contender is

A Senate hearing room, winter. A gavel cracks the air like ice breaking. Two women face off behind glass—one wields every dossier, the other wears only resolve. A throwback thriller where policy reads like a pistol.
