MI-5

Great TV series - pacey, edgy and dynamic. However on the BIG screen it loses that edge.

03/01/2020 A really detailed, well conceived 8-9 stars movie played out with excellent actors/actresses. Do NOT pass this one by!

This film is so B-O-R-I-N-G it had to be British. So boring like the drizzle dreary bwitish weather itself.

Efficient, sleek, entertaining film extension of the hit British spy show responsible for launching the careers of more than a few British actors. It maintains the moral compromise and complexity of the series, and its propulsive, relentless plotting - but we don't have enough investment with enough characters to buy into the show's trademark willingness to kill any character at any time for it work in the film format.

(spoiler) ... is the rate at which they kept killing off the primary characters.

British MI5 is transporting something or someone to hand it over to the CIA. The cargo is Adem Qasim, a Muslim terrorist.

Covid lockdown time and some people are rewatching the Spooks/MI5 tv series. One of the Spooks fans on the internet says yes Spooks is great tv but we don't mention the film.

This movie is really nothing special. I don't get why some people are so thrilled about it.

So this movie was goo, but it could have been better. For movies that have to do with spy organizations, there is so much that could be done with it but many of the movie makers tend to stick with similar generic stories.
