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
P.S. The previews were:
The Family
Dallas Buyers Club
Carrie
Rush
Escape Plan
The Fifth Estate
