Director: David Hare
Writer: David Hare
Stars: Bill Nighy, Rachel Weisz and Tom Hughes
Post 9/11 and post 7/7 (subway bombings in London) intelligence functions by the respective agencies in the friendly countries are questioned in this movie. The plot centers around one central question ... "what did he know and when did he know it" but that what and he changes for several people/situations. Intriguing, makes you ask some questions, but not strong enough, I thought, given some possible complications. The acting is brilliant. Nice spy thriller without all those car chases and gun battles. My Rating: 7.0
