Closed Circuit

Jean, This must be the most cerebral movie I have seen in years. The cast, which I found just excellent, is giving you information on a number of levels throughout the film. It may be the English legal system, public versus private court, barrister versus solicitor,  their MI 5 versus MI 6, single versus double agents, etc. On top of that you have those very interesting London locations in that damp London weather. I just wished that I could "freeze-frame" the movie every so often and say "what did that  character just tell me?" I enjoyed trying to keep up with the main characters and what they were telling me. That was the only way to figure out who were the bad guys or gals and who were the good.  You have to work for an understanding of this plot line. I found it an interesting movie even with  it's cynical view of today's world.  Dad

Jean, This is District 9 on steroids to me. It has that look and all the dust and grime and poverty. But after seeing the big movies of the spring/summer, Oblivion, Iron Man 3, Star Trek,Into Darkness, Man Of Steel, World War Z, White House Down, Lone Ranger and Pacific Rim, I would put this one near the top. That is for the great look of the two different worlds shown, the great weapons they invent and you have Jason Bourne slugging it out. They put him in all these allegorical stories and inside all these Iron Man super suits and he is still that great no-holds -barred fighter. (They, also, did not make this a long movie which some have done this summer.) Matt Damon takes more punishment than even Batman did in his last movie.  Dad
