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

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

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

It's nonsense, but there's fun to be had in the endless double-crosses, and fans of the 온라인카지노추천 show's trademark gruff face-offs won't feel disappointed.

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

"Undone by sentimentality," grumbles a senior secret agent in "Spooks: The Greater Good," having been foiled when a long-favored rendezvous location proves a trap. He might as well be talking about the film itself.

| May 9, 2015

You wouldn't want to downplay the pleasure Spooks fans may derive from this return trip - however iffy - down a fast-disappearing stretch of memory lane. But you could drive in circles around a multi-storey car park in Staines and feel edgier.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2015

Spooks addicts will probably be satisfied, but those used to the ambition and mega-budgets of Bourne and Bond may feel shortchanged.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2015

The big-screen spin-off from 온라인카지노추천's Spooks is an old-fashioned affair -- a ripping yarn with more than a hint of John Buchan about it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2015

Here's a thriller involving a huge amount of talking, sprinting and fighting and more sprinting.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2015

Even if the film can't match Hollywood for spectacle, there's a sobering sense of the painful sacrifices facing those who toil to keep us safe from harm.

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

A decent, mid-list spy thriller, suspended somewhere between le Carr and Bond but with a budgetary austerity in keeping with UK government spending cuts that keeps it out of the real high-stakes game.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2015
