The Whistleblower Movie Review

Today, January 24th, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has released The Whistleblower onto Blu-ray and DVD!  My husband and I received a copy of this movie to review and we both loved it!  The Whistleblower is a real attention grabbing movie and I was glued to the television the entire time!  Rachel Weisz delivers a stunning performance as the main character Kathryn Bolkovac who uncovers a deadly sex trafficking ring in Bosnia.  Many high ranking officials are involved in the scandal and seem to be untouchable for their crimes.  This movie is based on a true story and was a big eye-opener for me.  This is not one for the kids, but one that will have you thinking for a while after you have finished watching.
