Typical movie for TV This film is basically the hunt that the MI-5 (British intelligence service specializing in internal security) promotes a fearsome terrorist who escapes them between the fingers. Suspicions that there is a traitor within MI-5 lead two operatives to act in default of the rules and orders to capture and save the service. Of all, the MI-5 is a modest cousin of the British intelligence services, in that it is less well-known and mediatic than the neighbor MI-6. However, the film, which reminded me in some of a common movie 007 (for example, the insertion of credits and some action and fight scenes), is nice to see, although not very good. Only now, when documenting myself to make this criticism, did I realize that this film is the result of a British television series and that many of the characters we have seen here were born in it. However, when I saw the film, I realized clearly that it was a movie more thought for the TV than for the big screen. The script is simplistic and direct, cinematography is vulgar, the soundtrack is uninteresting and there are many dead moments and a reasonable dose of predictability. I do not know any of the actors but I think they were up to the task, which is not surprising if they had done those characters before. Not being close, brilliant, this movie is not that bad and entertains our time well. However, I did not feel like going to see the series that gave rise to it.
