Viewing Notes
So very British and caught up in moralizing about the greater good to the point that I think the point was lost. Which is either a really well done, subtle point made or just imperfect film making. Overall I liked it but it failed to build up any real tension, nor did it dive very deeply into the actual mechanics of spycraft.
Based on a British TV series called Spooks, the movie was released here in the states under the title MI-5.
