still great albeit weakest of the trilogy (by galerlegal) |
Probably the weakest of the trilogy as the plot is a bit convoluted and trite, but the dialogue is great and acting outstanding. Fiennes is delicious, Nighy continues his strong sensitive understated sensible full body performance. . |
Good finish to the trilogy! (by Th-232) |
I really like 'Page Eight', the first movie in this trilogy. 'Turks & Caicos', the second movie, wasn't as good, but it was OK. This last movie was as good as the first one! All in all, a very good set. I really enjoyed them. If you enjoyed 'Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy' 1979 and 'Smiley's People' 1982 both by the BBC then you will enjoy this series too. It's the same style of movies/mini-series about the world of spies. The old BBC mini-series are classics, both of them, and 10 out of 10. This trilogy is 8/10. Bill Nighy as Johnny <more> |
All good fun ... and no guns or bikinis (by coconutwater) |
Nothing is perfect but sometimes we have to be grateful for large mercies. In view of the generally mindless dreck that is offered on the screen big or small David Hare has at least given us intelligent dialogue written for adults and spoken clearly by a cast of actors who know what they're doing. No faux dramatic, over-amplified background music and no extraneous background noise ... we're here to hear people speak not how noisy the traffic is on a London street. It goes without saying that Bill Nighy is Worricker personified and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role ... <more> |
For your cerebral eyes only? (by ptone-93207) |
The problem may be that we've had too many Bourne and Bond movies of late. Or perhaps it's also a younger audience most probably men who prefer easily telegraphed plot points alongside the beautifully and expensively choreographed action scenes. Maybe they've never checked out Alec Guinness in his portrayal of George Smiley, or better yet, the Le Carré novels to understand how actual tradecraft operates.I'm not saying that this whole series works flawlessly; there are plot loopholes and legitimate complaints about not fleshing out Worricker character sufficiently.

What goes around, comes around (by ochichornye) |
In the final installment of David Hare's Worricker trilogy, ex-MI5 analyst Johnny Worricker Bill Nighy pops up in Germany. He's still on the run from the British authorities, who are now aided by the German intelligence service in the cat-and-mouse game of tracking him down. The scandal involving the shady dealings of the British Prime Minister Ralph Fiennes is threatening to break in the open. A wind of change is palpable and one gets the feeling that events are finally heading to a showdown. It was always difficult to keep up the quality and suspense after the excellent first <more> |
good news, bad news (by A_Different_Drummer) |
Intentionally or otherwise, this review of the 3rd instalment of the series follows the actual script for the series.In other words, just like the revelations that the central character must deal with in the story, we viewers also must cope with good news and bad news.The bad news is that on the basis of pure entertainment, this is the weakest instalment. The fault here is that expectations were too high. The first two presented powerful and charismatic actors who popped in and out of nowhere. This sort of trope is missing here. The first two presented Nighy's character as a sort of white <more> |
