Turks & Caicos
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.

Highly Overrated But Still Good
Good concept, poorly executed.
Fresh and Exciting
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Well not so much of action as much of drama in this piece, well to be precise there is none of action or if under action you can put thing that both main characters are spies or sitting on the beach drinking and eating. Story is short, but well acted as you would expect from so experienced duo of actors.Movie shows some modern problems of this world such as existence of tax free islands where all the dirty money goes .It is placed on beautiful s island Turks & Caicios which adds another note to this movie. .All of that brings me to the point where i have to say i enjoyed movie for which i thought, never will, definitely recommend.
When we last saw Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) he was standing at the airport wondering where to go next. He ended up in the Turks and Caicos, a Caribbean island not far from the coast of Florida and which seems to attract dicey businessmen with funny money.Our renegade hero is soon clocked by Curtis Pelissier (Christopher Walken) who is CIA and is investigating a group of people who ripped off the US government during the war on terror. However one of the group, a loud mouthed right winger is murdered.Into the mix arrives a smooth UK businessman who is good friends with the British Prime Minister and his assistant Margot Tyrrell (Helena Bonham Carter) who used to be a spy and close to Johnny.Pelissier ropes in Johnny to snare these people which also includes a vulnerable hanger on Melanie Fall (Winona Ryder) but Johnny is unsure how far he can trust Pelissier.With the sunshine in a Caribbean island and murder, I thought I was watching Death in Paradise for a moment! The locale and supremely fine acting makes this a really satisfying adventure. Because of the location shooting this zips along better than the others in the trilogy.Walken and Ryder are the standouts here. Writer David Hare expressed his admiration of Walken the Shakespearean actor and here we see what he can do without a gun in his hand or pulling psycho faces. We know Pelissier is clever and astute but does he have his own agenda?Ryder was a rising star of the 1990s but her career hit the skids by the end of the decade and it is only in the last few years she has become prominent again. This has been her best role for years where she balances vulnerability and strength. She has a good rapport with Bill Nighy.Ralph Fiennes shows up briefly for just one scene but that is because this middle film sets Johnny up with unfinished business with the Prime Minister.
This is a sequel of sorts to Page Eight (with the third part, Salting the Battlefield, due to be completed this year).The cast is excellent, Bill Nighy effortless as always, Walken is his usual self (is he a good guy or a bad guy?) and the writing and delivery near perfect.It should also be obvious which of our esteemed PM's Alec Beesley is modeled upon.It is pleasing to know that in amongst all the tosh we get on TV, there are still gems to be found.If you are going to watch this, I would recommend watching Page Eight first.
I was thrilled by the first episode and expected a lot from the second. And got it.The acting was impeccable. It was so good I missed it the first time I saw it. It seemed so natural. The pace was slow, steady and intriguing but there were little hints as to the plot, pointers if you will, all the way through. Don't miss a second.I watched it alone last night - my wife was babysitting grandchildren - and I was so fascinated that I saw it again with her tonight. It is even better the second time around. She actually clapped at the end.Nighy is brilliant, giving more information in a look that Skippy ever did. Yet he never answers a question.My wife and I talked it over for about an hour afterward.The third episode is awaited with some anticipation. Page 8 was brilliant and T&C has kept up the quality. Well done to everyone involved.
