QWhat is "State of Play" about?
AState of Play is a political thriller. It begins with the suicide of Sonia Baker (Maria Thayer), lead researcher on the staff of Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck). When it appears that Collins and Baker were involved in a romantic relationship and that her death may not have been a suicide, reporter Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe), a college friend of Collins and his wife Anne (Robin Wright), begins to look into Baker's death.
QHow does Cal make the connection between Deshaun, Sonia, and PointCorp?
ADeshaun's girlfriend Mandi Brokaw (Sarah Lord) took the photos of Sonia out of the boosted briefcase before Deshaun sold it back to his killer. Mandi then phoned Sonia on Deshaun's cell to warn her that she was being stalked by a psycho. Combined with the type of bullets used and the precision by which the killer shot Deshaun and the pizza delivery boy, Cal concludes that the killer had a military background. Knowing that PointCorp, a private military contractor to whom the U.S. Defense Department outsources the majority of their contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, is staffed 100% by ex-military and that Sonia was the lead researcher on Stephen's investigation into PointCorp, Cal puts two and two together and concludes that PointCorp had Sonia killed in order to get at Stephen.
