It is possible to make an excellent film on a shoestring. Rachel plays for dear life in a drama that only confirms there’ll always be assholes, and that most of them hide behind immunity.

The Whistleblower could have turned out much worse. A happy ending was directly offered, as we have seen many stories where a fighter with villainy intervenes in hopeless situations and is able to attract others and deal with evil. Fortunately, the creators stayed grounded and a sympathetic television film was created, which condemns the trafficking of women and corruption of international institutions. It is completely understandable that the filmmakers needed an international star to attract attention to the project. However, it is a bit unfortunate that they chose Rachel Weisz. In my opinion, she is not suitable for the role of an uncompromising tough policewoman (like the female equivalent of Serpico). Add to that the somewhat cheap flattery towards the American audience (yes, a few noble phrases about the integrity of the American judicial system and authorities made the corners of my mouth twitch) and it amounts to a strong three stars. Overall impression: 65%.
