Full Plot Details

Twenty-eight-year-old idealist Bob Jones is contemplating leaving his position as a Russian translator at Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) as those at the top have issued a new whistle blowing policy, encouraging employees to report any suspicious behavior, in light of the highly publicized case of Ramsay Dodgson, a Soviet spy who was working undetected in the organization for ten years before being caught. Bob does not like the idea of being at the mercy of work colleagues, most, like Dodgson, who he did and does not know. In private, he confides to his father, widowed businessman and retired Navy officer Frank Jones, that part of his want to leave the job, which also entails eavesdropping on private conversations between Soviet officials on a multitude of everyday topics, is that he believes the British, and by association Americans, are just as corrupt as the Russians in how they infiltrate institutions most of the public see as commonplace, this belief to which conservative, patriotic Frank takes offense. After a specific incident, Bob wants to use that whistle blowing policy to report against the operations of the GCHQ, but not knowing to whom. Shortly thereafter, Frank learns that Bob has died from an apparent fall off of his building roof. Frank begins to think that Bob's death was not an accident, but has something to do with whatever Bob was planning on exposing. Knowing no one in high places, Frank, with Bob's girlfriend Cynthia Goodburn helping, goes on a mission of discovery, at his own peril, to find out why his son was killed, which may forever change his view of what he has believed in all his life.

User Review - 8/10 by Michael CLook out for my cameo in Gloucester Cathedral...
User Review - 8/10 by Philip GDecent, intelligent Cold War thriller, which may require you to think. Similar to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in style. Michael Caine's acting is absolutely first-class.
User Review - 8/10 by Jon ACracking cold war entertainment. Nigel Havers is convincing as Caine's son and a good solid supporting cast including James Fox, Gordon Jackson and Sir John Geilgud allow this stylish thriller to twist and turn.
User Review - 8/10 by Lee MWhat's especially nice about "The Whistle Blower" is that it never quite lets its conspiracy theory plot become more important than character. It isn't really about what happens, but about how the events feel to the characters and how they change them.
User Review - 8/10 by Aeshan Wquite an entertaining espionage thriller with a not over-the-top & plausible plot.
User Review - 8/10 by Lady DHeight-of-the-cold-war movie about a 1984-style secret service that actually appears quite realistic.
User Review - 8/10 by Matt HFor a late 80's British spy film, this is up there with the best of them. Wholly recommended.
User Review - 8/10 by Sebastian PA very well made thriller, a little dated but enjoyable!
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DA good but not great cold war movie set around the British Secret Service which has a plot easy enough to follow and isn't long enough to become laborious.
