Spooks' pre-exisiting excellence hinders the film somewhat as it struggles to make a cinematic splash; worth watching if you're already a fan, or appreciate fast-paced shenanigans and explosions around London.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2019

Will provide a satisfying experience for all who see it, but perhaps more so with ardent fans of the series. The aesthetic, tone and performances result in a package that sits alongside similar Hollywood fare comfortably.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 5, 2019

This is James Bond done by Channel 5, with all the tension and sophistication of the Victoria Beckham kidnap plot.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 14, 2018

Making the transition from long-arc 온라인카지노추천 series to 100-minute feature film is no simple matter, but they've accomplished it with some skill here.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 22, 2017

Dreary thriller about British spook.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 13, 2016

There's a lot to commend in Spooks: The Greater Good, but at the end of the day it offers nothing new to the genre and it's big-screen adaptation just needed to be more daring and step out of the confines of television.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 2, 2016

Ultimately, it's Firth's film, and he ensures it's never less than thoroughly watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2016

It's difficult to call it great, more like Spooks: The Quite Good.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2015

Spooks: The Greater Good, though nothing entirely new, is a pacy, well-crafted spy-thriller that certainly matches the competition.

| Dec 10, 2015

"MI-5" is no action b-movie classic, but it manages to weave a complex and compelling narrative knot, mix in some absorbing musings about the nature of doing right and following orders, and pack in some nail-biting shoot outs.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 5, 2015

There's a surplus of double-dealings, plot twists and international locales to justify the theatrical treatment.

| Dec 4, 2015

A film that, like most of its ilk these days, is more interested in action than motivation.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 4, 2015

Nalluri confronts the familiarity of it all with commitment to speed and a general awareness that while his effort isn't going to look like a blockbuster, it can periodically play like one.

| Original Score: B | Dec 3, 2015

A dreary direct-to-video-grade adventure that should have been terminated before it ever began.

| Dec 2, 2015

Led by the honorably dour Firth and the charisma-free Harington, MI-5 is convoluted and dull ...

| Dec 1, 2015

If you can overlook the film's weaker elements, however, then Spooks still entertains consistently enough to make it a genre entry worth investing time in, whether or not you've previously been a fan of the series.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 26, 2015

This may be bereft of the bombast that Americans expect from their spy adventures, but as a modern spin on a John Le Carr-style thriller, it's a stylish and smart action film.

Full Review | Aug 14, 2015

The big screen proves an unforgiving canvas: for both the show's hitherto high-end production values and its topical urgency.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 10, 2015

The film passes the time perfectly tolerably, but it is no more comfortable in this less intimate medium than were ancient movie versions of The Sweeney and Callan.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2015

A solidly entertaining espionage thriller; not up there in the first rank of spy movies but a decent enough placeholder to keep fans of the genre happy until the next James Bond.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2015
