Seriously? Did everyone just watch the same film as I did? I've loved this franchise, but this was a painful watch from start to finish. Were there semi-monets which reminded you of the old bridget jones - sure - but they were few and far between and te rest was torture. The fake and forced acting, the ludicrous storyline ... the overdone ham scenes ... the not funny funny lines ... the cringe list goes on and on. The A listers make it ever so slightly bearable - but only just so.

What a terrible last finale for a cult franchise like this. They should have stopped when they had it good. Hard pass.

I stumbled upon this ovie on Prime and hadn't really heard of ot before despite the Oscar win. I started watching it expecting it to be another one of those 'artsy' movies that speak to only a few people but my goodness was I proven wrong. If you are someone who only likes to watch thrillers or MArvel movies, please walk away now as this isn't your cuppa. But if you care about true art and a movie that will make you think and insipre emotions, then please do give this a try.

This is a rivetting watch with performances that stay with you well past the moment the film is over. The philosophical exchanges made me want to pause and reflect and make notes and pass them onto any young women in my family I cared about.... timeless.

All of the artists in their powerfully enacted supporting roles make this an unforgettable experience and as a woman, I came away feeling so empowered and inspired. We are all so quick to judge each other, and it helped me take a pause and rethink my judgements - I'll forever think of Mariche and Jessica Buckley the next time I find myself making judgements on other women. The writing is near perfection and the performances all deserved awards imo ... Watch it and if you have young girls who are able to watch this with you, make sure they do too. I'm about to buy the book and read it next - the fact that this was a true story, makes it even more unmissable.

I've no idea whats wrong with people and all the negative reviews here ... I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. Like any self respecting modern day spy thriller it has all the essentials (MI6, Europeanfilming locations , car chases , trains ... etc etc) but isn't that to be expected? Sure no one is getting an Oscar here but neither is Tom Cruise for Mission Impossible. Gal looks stunning and caries this well.

Yes the whole Charter thing is a bit meh .... but the action alone makes you want to see it. Leave your brains behind and just watch it for what it is and now what others expected it to be.
