I thought this was very good. Even after all the talk about how it was a more mature, considered thriller I was still taken aback by how slow it was, but it does work in its favour. Everything is really deliberate, the pace allows the performances to shine and it makes a nice change from other spy dramas you’ll see. I can’t say I was too emotionally invested in it, which is fairly common for me in this genre, but I found it well-made and compelling enough to enjoy.
Grade: ****
