Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
hiekkaroopi-23236 I was so disappointed with the film. The opening scene was so lovely. Harking back to the old days of black and white movie classics. I had expected the storytelling and script to be so much better. I prefer to watch European detective stories because they usually offer either a more realistic angle or a plot or delight the audience with fantastically witty humour which the American thrillers often lack. Not so this time. I wonder if Mr. Hare created this boring and stiffly acted out drivel just to bring about his own political world view on Palestinians and thus have this silly off handed go at the Israelis. These actors could have done so much better than this. What a waste of their fantastic talent! I fell asleep at then end and woke up just in time to see the last comment made by MI5 officer Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy). "Change the channel" "I wanna hear some Jazz". My sentiments entirely! Don't bother watching this when you could be spending your time listening to some awesome jazz instead. Oh and the 1 point I have given this movie went to, you guessed it, to the jazz of course.
bjarias Take two twelve bottle cases of wine and stack one on top of the other.. then try carrying them both in one arm, while you're carrying something else in the other.. oh yea, and make it look totally easy, like there was nothing inside the two boxes.. (cause obviously there wasn't)!! And that's only one example of just how absurd parts two and three of this trilogy eventually become. Page Eight was really good enough (gorgeous RW), and I was so looking forward to the other two segments. But it was like night and day.. as if part one was made in Britain, and two and three in the US. The 7 rating is for part one.. two and three deserve no more than a 5.. and that's being overly generous.
rebaaron-1 This is an ultra-Leftist film. The dictatorial Prime Minister of Great Britain and the evil Americans are in cahoots hiding the secret that the Americans are running torture chambers all over the world. The good director of MI-5 (who dies halfway through) and his golden-haired protégé work to expose the Prime Minister's deceit to the nation. An added subplot, mixed with a romantic element for the fair-haired boy, is that the Israelis are shooting people waving white flags and covering up these cold-blooded murders at the highest levels of the Israeli intelligence services. The British Secret service knows about this as well, but isn't telling anyone. I guess they are not all as good as our hero. In the finale the Israelis are outed on national television and a good time is had by all. Good actors, decent dialogue, but ultimately unwatchable because of the sickening premises, which require the inversion of good and evil, with the help of a lot of lies.
bowmanblue Page Eight is about an MI5 analyst who's boss dies and leaves him a rather sensitive file that some in the British hierarchy would rather never sees the light of day.If you've seen Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy then it's basically the same thing - a spy thriller that tries to portray the more 'realistic' side of espionage. By this I mean the side of spying that isn't shown in James Bond. Don't expect any beautiful bikini-clad babes in Page Eight, or even a car chase with a car than can turn into a boat. What you have here is a political thriller where 'battles' are carried out with words and briefcases, rather than Walter PPKs.Page Eight has a great cast - anything with Bill Nighy, Ralph Fiennes and Michael Gambon are always going to carry a certain level of kudos with them.Is it any good? Yes, it does the job. It's probably worth a watch if you're happy with slower-paced thrillers. Gary Oldman's Tinker, Tailor is probably a superior vessel and Page Eight does come across like a film which was written by a Guardian reader, i.e. very left wing, but it's still not a bad watch.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
