It has its moments (and a lot of potential), but the script is stagnant and overblown, and not even Nighy can save this so-called 'thriller' from feeling dull and lifeless.

at least someone's confessing that the Jews kill for no reason.

very secretive, full of suspense, unpredictable and subtle. It includes nice details, such as the paintings.

An utter waste of talent built on the foundations of a terrible script, where every couple of minutes someone will answer a question with a question, and then be answered with another question. Bill Nighy appears narcoleptic, Rachel Weisz's character doesn't really have a purpose and Michael Gambon seems to be looking off camera all the time to see if his paycheck's gone through. On top of all of that, it's pointlessly contrived. Worst thing I've ever seen on Masterpiece Theatre.

I wanna be Bill Nighy when I get old! A great, slow paced political thriller without all the mandatory action sequences as seen in it's Hollywood siblings...

A thriller without any real thrills that chugs along without ever causing any emotional reaction in me. It's competently made but pretty forgettable, with dialogue (and delivery) that often feels too forced and fake.

Stylishly made and the acting is, as one would expect from the excellent cast, top of the line.

Pretty good tv-movie.

This was pretty great. It didn't have anything to push it over to make me go WOW, but it was really solid the entire way through, with good acting, a good story. It was nice to see how this thriller would pan out. Didn't have to rely on action or anything, just a solid story.

Solid story, great, great acting, Bill Nighy of course but all the way every woman, even supporting actresses. There was no necessary action bursts or anything. Just pure storytelling.

Classy intelligent intelligence thriller, well acted and nicely shot.
