“Can we please stop putting the main character of the movie in the back of the poster just so we can show the more famous actor up front? Anyway, this movie is a decent watch. Iu0026#39;ve always had a soft spot for war dramas, especially world war dramas. So, when I found out there was a new war movie coming out starring Judi Dench (who wasnu0026#39;t the lead apparently), I was interested. The start showed a lot of promise. Even tho the story was a bit predictable, it was intriguing and kept was wondering where it was going to go, but then it took a turn. I knew from the beginning who the so-called spy was, but I hope this is a story based on real events, because the story makes not a lot of sense. There are so many u0026#39;close callu0026#39; clichés and spy moments that we have seen before, but way better. I actually was invested in the story, but it really started to lose focus after the first act. Interesting characters and subplots just get abandoned and the tone goes form lighthearted to really thrilling in the blink of an eye. Itu0026#39;s a shame, cause it kept me entertained all the way through, but after the cat was out of the back, it went downhill. It could have been a lot more, but it ended as just another forgettable spy thriller.”
