To this effect, Mike Rezendes, played by Mark Ruffalo ( Foxcatcher and The Avengers), is like a dog with a bone. There’s of course interviewing Garabedian and those involved with his case, or rather cases. Everyone calls it as the newspaper suing the church, which starts to draw a line in the sand, and the plot involves trying to get people to cross that line and join the reporters to bring the truth to light. It starts with Marty insisting that the paper file a lawsuit to get court records from a sexual abuse case, connected to a specific lawyer named Mitchell Garabedian, played by Stanley Tucci. Like an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the film, directed and co-written by Tom McCarthy, plays out like a police procedural. He doesn’t seem to be all that social, but he is certainly a dedicated journalist. At first, he’s concerned about having to make cuts and lay-offs at the paper, but he sees the sexual abuse cases as an opportunity to do something that would connect with the readers. He pushes Robby’s team to delve into the Catholic priest, sexual abuse cases. Liev Schreiber ( Defiance and Salt) co-stars as Martin Baron aka Marty, the new editor who is overseeing a lot of the newspaper’s content. Robby’s team instead has the luxury of time and Robby indulges in patience. He runs a 4-person, investigative unit called “Spotlight Team.” When a new leading editor joins the paper, Robby explains that the Spotlight Team finds a story and digs into it for months and months, which is unlike most reporters or even teams of reporters that normally have to provide new content daily or weekly. Robinson aka Robby, an editor-at-large for the newspaper.

Michael Keaton ( Birdman and Batman) stars as Walter V.

This movie details the process that the reporters for The Boston Globe undertook to do that story.

However, some have criticized that not enough has been done despite the huge amount of coverage. That story led to widespread media coverage and the eventual resignation of Bernard Francis Law, the Cardinal and Archbishop of Boston, Massachusetts. In 2002, The Boston Globe ran a story, which exposed child sexual abuse cases covered up by the Catholic Church. Emmy-nominee John Slattery plays Ben Jr., the Assistant Managing Editor of The Boston Globe, the newspaper in question here. Jason Robards won the Oscar for his role in All the President’s Men playing Ben Bradlee, the executive editor of the newspaper in that movie. It also features characters who are related by blood. It similarly focuses on dogged reporters trying to uncover what ends up being a national scandal. For starters, this movie opens with a scene that takes place in the year 1976. A lot of people will compare this film to the Oscar-winning All the President’s Men (1976).
