David Thomson The New Republic Jun 20, 2013
Bill Nighy is the hushed engine of the film, just as Rachel Weisz is asked to be the emblem of a vein of decency and commitment that is worth defending. Go to Full Review
Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Aug 3, 2012
I felt stuck on the outside, while the characters went through their paces secretly understanding everything that was at stake. Go to Full Review
Alessandra Stanley New York Times Aug 3, 2012
It's the right cast in the right setting but with a wrongfully righteous script. Go to Full Review
Jen Shieff New Zealand Herald Jan 9, 2025
3/5
Director and screenwriter David Hare’s clever scripting carries the day. Go to Full Review
Tara Thorne The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Nov 16, 2018
For a "spy thriller" there is zero violence, zero running, zero screaming and only minimal double crossing-the whole thing is rather civilized and zingy. Go to Full Review
Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Nov 12, 2017
B+

Leia R Oct 28, 2018 Too much politics, too little drama, too slow a pace and a highly unlikely romance. I'd say not my cup of tea despite the leading cast I love. I will forget about it and never watch again. See more
Kylo L Feb 8, 2018 Sophisticated and interesting. No violence ... intrigue. The intersection of espionage and politics.
George L Nov 8, 2011 I'd happily watch this cast read the phone book, but fortunately the script by David Hare (who also directed) is intelligent, engaging and generally makes good use of this singular cast's talents. See more
