The Last Thing He Wanted

Anne Hathaway is an investigative journalist whose father (Willem Dafoe) turns out to be a major player in the game she's trying to expose in this crime thriller co-starring Ben Affleck and Rosie Perez.

"Journalist and single mother Elena McMahon (Hathaway) has rigorously investigated Contra activity in Central America for years. Frustrated when her coverage is censored, relief comes in an unexpected package: her acerbic father (Willem Dafoe) falls ill and leaves her a series of unfinished and unsavory arms deals in that very region. Now a pawn in a risky and unfamiliar game, surrounded by live ammunition in more ways than one, and alongside a U.S. state official (Affleck) with whom she has a checkered past, Elena needs to parse her own story to survive. With her disenchanting life awaiting her back home, she is forced to consider what she really wants." (Sundance Film Festival)
