Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Elderly, womanizer British gentleman, somehow involved with spying, attracts young, beautiful woman who needs his help (The Russia House). Despite the huge age gap, she finds him attractive (The Russia House). He is unsure if he can trust her, because spying is a risky business, but she is a hot piece of a**, therefore worth the risk (The Russia House).In a top secret document, the gentleman discovers dirty business involving British Prime Minister and USA allied (The Ghost Writer). The document contains information about alleged torture of war prisoners. Unmasking the dirt may cause the gentleman serious problems, but he goes ahead (The Ghost Writer). He chooses the woman over his country, moves abroad and lives happily hereafter (The Russia House).To drag along the story a bit longer, a totally irrelevant sub-plot is added. The gentleman has a snobbish, single daughter, who got pregnant after one-week liaison with a "conceptual artist" (very important point, the "conceptual artist"... of course, such a spirited, upper class girl could not possibly get impregnated by a waiter). Since this is a liberal, "gauche-caviar" tale, more dirt is thrown to the direction of Israel, thanks to the Syrian, dove-eyed, beautiful, but emotionally damaged female lead. It must be made crystal clear that the "baddies" are the demoniac triad of USA-British Prime Minister-Israel and the "goodies" are everybody else, inclusive of the Muslim, scarf-wearing secretary.1 point is compulsory, 1 point to the atmospheric photography

This review written in 2016. The Bond franchise is still in play, barely, and upstart franchises like FF7 are slowly but surely taking over the traditional spy "caper." And then there is Page 8. Wow. Assuming, as a moviephile, you don't swoon merely on hearing the cast (Felicity Jones and Michael Gambon in supporting roles!) the story, the pacing, the direction, the dialog, the cinematography, the acting --- these are all a treat to be savoured.This is of course the other side of the spy game, with a hero who boasts that he doesn't "do violence" and who when asked by an associate that he no longer trusts, why he picked a certain restaurant for the rendez-vous, proudly answers, "For the best reason of all, the food." Nighy in one of the best roles of his career also talks about life not being worth living without honour. Not many actors could make that line ring true. He does.Astonishing, under-rated and to a large degree unappreciated.And massively recommended.

really the Israelis killed her brother when he was holding white flag... as an ex IDF i can tell you this is pure propaganda lies which is nothing more then graveling attempt to sooth raging Islam hate which probably terrifies the creators writers of this propaganda..well we Israelis do NOT fear Islam, and don't demote our-self's to the lies of that particular scene.antisemitism = hate = fear. the arab Muslim world could not defeat us so they (fear) hate us.yes antisemitism disguised as anti Israeli thees days is popular and yes there's a diffidence between legitimate criticism and BLATANT RACISM.yeah, nice film "Joseph Goebbels" oh David Hare yeah using a "Jew" for blatant antisemitism is clear & well known act to avoid claims of antisemitism, but we all know the auto-antisemitism Jews living abroad have to abide by their surrounding rules & code of hate.David Hare, Arabs would now cut you some slack and lay off you, so you lot don't have to fear them now. (not really if you knew them like WE ISRAELIS DO)

Yeah, OK I agree with what they all say about the genre, etc etc ... atmosphere, etc ... It is a good story and well-toldI always love watching Bill Nighy (does he play himself or is he just brilliant at that laconic type of character ...?) BUT REALLY must we always have the fresh young girl swooning for the fella old enough to be her GRAND-DAD? Really .. it makes me laugh and sob in equal measure .... the weak link in an otherwise agreeable drama for me .... I don't really have ten lines more to say, as everything else has been said, but if we want a mini-essay on the tragedy of old-men's pathetic fantasy lives I guess I can run to one. Why would that lovely young woman fall for Nighy? Even though I open my review saying he is very watchable, and entertaining I doubt there are many women who would really fall for this character in this context. And we NEVER EVER see a tight-bodied hunk fall for the Judy Dench element, do we, though she is every bit as gorgeous as Bill!
