Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Furrowed brows and harsh whispers are the order of the day in this slick but predictable political thriller, which stars Mark Wahlberg (in one expression mode: befuddled) as Billy Taggart, a New York private eye and former cop who is taken for a ride by Russell Crowe's corrupt mayor.

The wily politician hires Billy to find out if his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is being unfaithful – but the thrust of this well-worn tale hangs on a dodgy real-estate building.
