Synopsis

The second movie in David Hare's Johnny Worricker trilogy. Loose-limbed spy Johnny Worricker, last seen whistleblowing at MI5 in Page Eight, has a new life. He is hiding out in Ray-Bans on the Caribbean islands of the title, eating lobster and calling himself Tom Eliot (he’s a poet at heart). We’re drawn into his world and his predicament when Christopher Walken strolls in as a shadowy American who claims to know Johnny. The encounter forces him into the company of some ambiguous American businessmen who claim to be on the islands for a conference on the global financial crisis. When one of them falls in the sea, their financial PR seems to know more than she's letting on. Worricker soon learns the extent of their shady activities and he must act quickly to survive when links to British prime minister Alec Beasley come to light.

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
r-r-stevens This film had me at David Hare. Throw in the wonderful cast with Winona Ryder, Judy Davis, Christopher Walken, Ralph Fiennes ... and my very favorite actor Bill Nighy, and I was actually gang had. What an entertaining job they all did in confirming what we already knew about the corruption and constant lying during the indecency that was the Bush Administration and its War of Errors in the War on Terror. This trilogy is a masterpiece. Many thanks to everyone who made this movie so wonderful and who restores my hope for a better world. I was astounded that the last two parts of the trilogy actually did come up to my hopes for it, even though I was not confident that this was even possible. 'Page 8' was a life changing experience for me - I've watched it a dozen times! - mainly because of the mesmerizing dialog of David Hare and the incomparable performance from Bill Nighy. More! More!
mch2469-955-827475 As some will know this is a follow-on to a previous BBC drama called 'Page Eight'You definitely do not need to have seen the first drama to understand or appreciate this drama.... However if you have it will help to understand a few of the plot lines in this drama... Namely... A better understanding as to why the lead is forced into working with the CIA operative and also one of the last scenes between the lead and his ex -girlfriend before they try to escape...In addition it will also help with understanding the lead character himself and his motivations.... However I am sure anyone watching this without seeing the first drama will have no trouble enjoying and appreciating this quality work...Overall it is a great piece of drama with a well written story and believe able characters... It isn't a Bondesque or other type of action spy drama and nor is it a John LeCarre type spy story.... But it is a great drama which allows you to get into the story and keeps you interested in the development of the characters and how they react to the evolving storyline...I am pleased that a second film was made.. And if I am honest I do hope that a third is made with Bill Nighy.... I really enjoy his character and his gentlemanly methods and firm principles in an ever changing world....
Galli Galli The Marilyn Monroe of Generation X, the Face of the Nineties, Winona Forever, Noni - this icon has been described in so many devotional ways it's almost poetic to think her 'fall from grace' as the epoch defining movie star of her time played out in sync with America's own trauma and subsequent malaise. In this film, the middle chapter of what has been called a "post-9/11 political trilogy", we look into those marvellous, once innocent eyes of Winona's and we see David Hare's poem to that Age of Innocence. Having risen from the ashes of her own shattered iconography as a very compelling character actress, Winona Ryder has been skillfully contrasted to but deprived scenes with her British contemporary Helena Bonham Carter. Why did they not share the screen together? Are they aspects of the same impossible ideal that drives David Hare to set pen to paper?
adrianwilson2002 I was looking forward to watching Turks and Caicos, with its enviable cast list and intriguing plot. However, it turned out to be one of the WORST films I have ever seen (probably top 3). It was completely devoid of interest, depth or character. I spent the whole hour and a half waiting for something to happen and by the time something seemed to be happening at the end I found I was utterly uninterested. I hadn't engaged with any of the characters, perhaps because they were all one-dimensional. The whole film felt like it was rushed; written in an afternoon with some political references shoe-horned in and none of it fitting together at all. Everything felt contrived. Perhaps it was just badly edited, so that it jerked along with no real direction. At no point did I feel any empathy for the characters or care what was happening, let alone feel any sense of tension. Winona Ryder's character and performance would have been described as hammy and lacking in depth in a daytime soap. This 'Frank and Gary' that we barely met at the start suddenly turn into central characters from nowhere. Rupert Graves' character also turns out to be important yet he hardly has any lines and carries nothing of the powerful man he is supposed to be. Christopher Walken appeared to be doing a caricature of himself. It would have been disappointing and underwhelming as a low-budget, obscure-channel, daytime production. It should have been good but it instead it was truly truly awful. It has no redeeming qualities. Everyone involved should feel embarrassed.
