| PopMattersChloe SandersTurks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield... invite us to consider our own participation in the storytelling, to look past surfaces and think about how and why lies might be told, how identities might be changed or left behind or revisited. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfTerrific with dramatic encounters, but less successful with closure, leaving the door wide open for Worricker to return and tend to his scattered life once again. |
| User ReviewRoss HIt really is that good. Tight script, great cast (Judy Davis takes the win!) and its the subversive MI5 agent you've always wanted Bond to be (well, Connery would have been a horrible miscast but surely they could have picked someone with more sexual charisma than Nighty?!) A great finish. Watch it. ITs that good. |
| User ReviewBrent CGreat concluding chapter to the Worricker trilogy. Although far from a Hollywood ending things do get wrapped up as they probably should. Nighy's work with this character was spectacular, great acting. |
| User ReviewMichael RI wish people were as smart in real life as in this movie. But that is the British for you, celebrating the smart not the stupid. |
| User ReviewRafael So final da trilogia é o mais interessante de todos |
| User ReviewTroy KThis is a little more like it, still not as good as the first one, but way better than the second one. |
| User ReviewMike MThe final installment of the trilogy following Page Eight and Turks & Caicos. Maybe I wanted Johnny to continue his winning and cunning ways but on the other hand Salting shows everyone is vulnerable and we sell out in one way or another. Page Eight is still the best of the three. |
| User ReviewSimon DAh haaa. This is the final part of a trilogy I see. That explains a lot. The film was a bit hard to get into which is clear now. I thought it was quite a good film really. I'll have to find the other two parts now. |
| User ReviewWalter M"Salting the Battlefield" starts with British Prime Minister Alec Beasley(Ralh Fiennes) waking up at 5:05 am, next to a copy of a Margaret Thatcher biography on his nightstand. Any comforting dreams he might have had are ruined by the rude awakening of a scandal involving himself, Stirling Rogers(Rupert Graves) and The Bridge Foundation. Plus, Beasley would desperately like to know where Johnny Worricker(Bill Nighy) is and not in a friendly way. Making that harder is Worricker and Margot Tyrrell(Helena Bonham Carter) making the most out of their Eurail passes. In trying to wrap up the Johnny Worricker trilogy, writer-director David Hare takes the wrong approach with "Salting the Battlefield" by relying too much on past continuity, especially involving scandals and conspiracy and not enough effort in creating a stand alone story for this installment. That leads to an awkward mix of intrigue and chase through the first half of the movie which is nowhere near as good or fun as "Hopscotch" before becoming a more personal and compelling story for the second. What matters in any case are the always welcome Judy Davis, Olivia Williams and Felicity Jones also being in the cast this time around. |
