5 stars (Exceptional) Keira Knightley & Ralph Fiennes are superb in this convincing political thriller. As good or better than Le Carre. Overall powerful and moving with interesting side-pieces on the Press cutting corners & powerful acting by all. ~Sandy
4 stars (Very Good) Terrific writing - the screenplay could have easily have been more complex but was viewer friendly. To its credit also, the dramatisation didn't get sidetracked with subplots and non of the performers overdid their parts but stuck to the job at hand. ~Tubbs
2 stars (Good Try) ~Anonz
