I will keep this short and sweet! Absolutely amazing film! If your a fan of the spy genre and more particularly the English spy genre then you will love this film! It is everything that the Bond oeuvre should have but does not! There are some amazing performances by Firth, Davies and Strong. The action scenes are not overdone but rather cooked to perfection. The storyline was typical of the genre but the other parts that make up the story keep your attention right till the end! The soundtrack was superb with some very good musical choices as you will agree when you watch it.

If you are not off to get a copy of this film right now as we speak I have to ask, what more do you want from a film? It has it all! You will not be disappointed in the slightest. So, take my advice and do yourself a favour..........go and watch this film now!

I have read some bad reviews of this film and I have to say, after watching the film I was pleasantly surprised.

There are parts of the story that have been altered as Hollywood expects a certain glossy finish to its films. The bulk of the story however remains the same. It is a little like fatal attraction and when you find yourself thinking that you stop for a moment and realise, "hang on, this actually happened".

The story, for anybody who knows about the case, is predictable for its genre but the lead actress Tania Raymonde is not bad in the roll at all. She plays the part of Arias quite well and her little jealous outbursts were that convincing she reminded me of an ex of mine! All in all its not a bad film. The only criticism I would have is they don't spend enough time on the trial. This film however is well worth watching!
