Straddling the line between political thriller and intense character study, Zal Batmanglij's The East is a powerful story that never loses focus of its end goal. And while the film will occasionally show its budget, Batmanglij uses his stars to distract from the shortfalls, allowing them to fill the screen and sell their story as they chug along in an unorthodox David v. Goliath battle.
