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.

Steven Soderbergh’s post-Bourne spy movie is – in spite of the presence of Antonio Banderas and Michael Fassbender – a showcase for Gina Carano, a mixed martial arts champ who’d never done any acting before.

And, to be fair, she certainly looks as if she knows what she’s doing in the fight sequences. The problem is that Soderbergh doesn’t give her many, opting instead for drawn-out, meandering dialogue scenes which don’t do her any favours.
