| New York TimesAlessandra StanleyThis spy parable is too preachy and heavy-handed. |
| User ReviewTroy Ki likeded it so i bought the dvded it it! |
| User ReviewOscar DGreat story and acting, the setting is perfect as well. This was my introduction to the Worricker trilogy. Picking it up in the middle didn't matter, this one can stand alone. |
| User ReviewGuy HI had never heard of this movie before, but apparently, it's part two of David Hare's BBC trilogy about a fugitive gentleman spy, now forced to play mild-mannered retiree on the eponymous islands due to a crisis of conscience that led to his being MIA from MI5. The staid British caper pits stolid Bill Nighy as Johnny Worricker against chilly Christopher Walken as Curtis Pelissier, an undercover CIA agent who blackmails Worricker into helping him entrap some white collar criminals. Riveting, right? They are joined by two femme fatales: a plummy Helena Bonham Carter as MI5 analyst and Worricker's former flame, and wild-eyed Winona Ryder as the white collar criminals' PR rep who keeps all their secrets. It's a pedigreed production to be sure, if a bit vague in the stodgy British thriller way, but it boasts some fine performances, and it actually got me to read the rather beautiful inscription on all passports about offering aid and protection to the holder of the passport. |
| User ReviewMike MA good sequel to Page Eight but the first part of this trilogy (with Salting the Battlefield concluding) is the best of the three. Turks seemed like the cast and crew just wanted a nice spot for filming. |

| User ReviewWS WAfter done watching it, I can now confirm the prequel is the best one among 3. |
